Hello!

I think it would be great for the community if we do another collaborative project.
The last project that I runned went pretty well, so here is the same set up:

It sounds very interesting to me when we have a collaboration project in the form of Theme and Variations.
For the ones who don't know what this form is: you compose one or more variations on a stated theme.
A clear example is Mozart's Dodici variazioni su 'Ah, vous dirai-je Maman':

 

 

How does it work?

You can compose as many variations on the given theme as you want. There are a few rules / points:

  • Only write for the saxophone quartet (SATB). Not all variations have to contain all instruments, so you can also compose a variation for, for instance, saxophone trio (S, A, B) or a solo passage.
  • Make sure that the theme is recognizable or at least fragments of it.
  • Every style is accepted: contemporary, classical, Pop, Jazz, minimal etc.
  • Variations may not be longer than 2 minutes.
  • When you have finished a variation, please post it in this topic with the following files. This namely saves a lot time for me to edit the final version. 
    • PDF file of the score and;
    • Midi file and;
    • MP3 file.
  • You can be as creative as you want!
  • DELIVER THE PARTS IN C (SO NO TRANSPOSING)
