Premier Suite (Theme from Masterpiece Theatre) One of our favorites, arranged by our founding bari player. Tom teaches and runs a music store in England now.	Mouret, arr. Tom Beers
Autumn in New York One of the famous “Hollywood Saxophone Quartet” arrangements, and one of our most requested.	arr. Lennie Niehaus
Prelude and Beguine This “Modern Styling for Saxophone Quartet” was written in 1954. We call these old pieces “dollar bin” charts, and we have a ton of them. Don usually transposes the 1st alto part to soprano, since most quartets were AATB back then. This one is really catchy!	Victor Williams (Carl Fischer)
Prelude and Beguine From Paul Harvey’s collection of Renaissance music. Recorded in concert at SMU in 1987.	ed. Paul Harvey (Chester)
This Can’t Be Love Another Hollywood Saxophone Quartet chart. Swings hard!	arr. Lennie Niehaus
A Study in Contrasts Another old classic. We had a tradition of always playing this as the second tune on every gig. Dunno why.	Sammy Nestico (Kendor)
Le Coucou Also from Paul Harvey’s Renaissance collection.	Louis Claude Daquin, ed. Paul Harvey (Chester)
Under the Double Eagle A classic march, made harder than it should be.	J.F. Wagner, arr. David Lovrien (Cimarron)
Quator Movement 1 Movement 2 Movement 3 Movement 4	Pierre Max Dubois (Leduc)
Overture in Bb from our Concert Artists Guild audition tape (1989).	Handel, arr. Schmidt (WIM Inc.)
Have You Met Miss Jones? Another Hollywood Saxophone Quartet classic.	arr. Lennie Niehaus
Pavane This was our first reading of the chart, and there are a few wrong notes. But listening to it again, there were also some really nice musical moments, so why not share?	Gabriel Faure
