A little night(ingale) music….
If the pre-Christmas bustle is stressing you out, head over to our YouTube channel for a beautifully mellow and relaxing version of the classic song, “A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square” – the next release from our live studio recording session at Leeds Conservatoire.
What ho, Jeeves!
The first of our new studio recordings is now out! An arrangement made specially for Saxofonie of Anne Dudley’s evocative and catchy jazz-era theme for ITV’s classic series “Jeeves and Wooster”. If this doesn’t cheer up a dark December evening, nothing will!
It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!
And what better way to celebrate than a bit of festive busking? If the weather forecast remains on track, we’ll be on the streets of central York this coming Sunday 19 December from about 1 pm for a couple of hours of favourite Yuletide tunes and carols. To get you in the mood, how about a reminder of this gem from last year’s festive video highlights?
Jingle bells?
For our final festive video for Christmas 2020, a jaunty rendering of Leroy Anderson’s Sleigh Ride, we have a couple of guest performers who totally steal the show. William and Stanley, take a bow!!
I’m dreaming of….
… being able to play together in person sometime in the reasonably near future. But until that day dawns, how about the wonderfully nostalgic White Christmas? Our sax quartet version of Irving Berlin’s classic festive tune is sure to add a little relaxation and celebration into your pre-Christmas preparations. Enjoy!
Getting festive!
With Christmas just a couple of weeks away, Saxofonie is getting into the festive spirit with some specially recorded Christmas favourites! First up, and absolutely guaranteed to get you humming along, It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year. Have fun!
Classic stuff…
New on our repertoire list: this is one we’ve learned from scratch in lockdown and have never yet had the chance to play together in person! (One of these days…)
A total TV classic, this is the Peter Gunn theme by the superb Henry Mancini, arranged for sax quartet. Enjoy!
A real favourite!
We took a bit of a break from recording in September in the optimistic hope that we’d be able to start socially-distanced rehearsals (you know, in the same room!). Sadly, with a couple of our number being caught by local lockdown restrictions just days before we were due to meet, that wasn’t to be, so we cheered ourselves up with a recording of what is possibly our all-time favourite piece, The Lone Ar-ranger Goes Sax Mad!
Keep on playing!
Social distancing restrictions mean that we can’t rehearse together yet, but we’re still playing! You can now watch the latest in our #QuarantineSessions video playlist on our YouTube channel – a lovely little arrangement of the Londonderry Air, with a big-band twist at the end. Enjoy!
