The Amherst Saxophone Quartet - The Amherst Saxophone Quartet flac album

A saxophone quartet is a musical ensemble composed of four saxophones, typically soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophones. Different saxophone family members are employed to provide a larger range and a variety of tone colours. Other arrangements of instruments also exist, but are rarer. A piece of music composed for such an ensemble can also itself be referred to as a saxophone quartet.

Amherst Saxophone Quartet Site: Purpose. We hope the site becomes a useful resource for other saxophonists and anyone interested in an ensemble career in concert music. The ASQ was founded in 1978 with the intent to be a chamber music ensemble that provided full-time employment for its musicians. Starting in 1986, the ASQ's musicians received an annual salary, health care benefits, and even a retirement plan.
