saxophone angularity - easy question

SAX PLAYERS:

Just a quickie - I have a line, which I may want to orchestrate into a saxophone part. I'm just looking for some confirmation that it's not too difficult. For a trumpet, it's nigh on impossible, but for a soprano sax... whaddy'a think?

I'm not married to the rhythm - it may change to triplits (as the conterline makes it REAL hard to count through), but the angularity is the tricky bit. At about 140...

Yah? I think it's not a problem...but, I'm no sax player - and the phrase will repeat several times with minor variations...

:hmmm:

Yes, any decent saxophone player could play this idea. Shouldn't be a problem. :)

Yes, it's not that difficult at all, really. SHould be fine!

:) :thumbsup:

Thanks guys!

Meh, if that's in Bb pitch, not concert pitch, a good trumpet could play it. But a bad trumpet player doing it will probably make you burst into tears. Probably a bunch safer on the sax. unless you want everyone to do it for a special effect. Also, if you take it down an octave, octave and 5th leaps are really quite easy on the tpt.

I thought of that...but the intervals get weirder as it progresses, and keeping the TIME is important, so I think it's better to go with a more agile saxophone...

Ha, OK. You're right to give it to the safer choice.
