Reworking it


I'm sitting here listening to my favorite song from middle school, Under the Rice Moon, which was a concert band piece about the Rice Moon event of Chinese lore. In basic- a rice moon is a full, very white, moon in which the wild rice was to be harvested. But it was also a time when spirits would rise to interact with humans, not scary, but still intense.

Anyways, all day today I've been listening to sax quartet rep and solo sax rep. Now listening to this song, I really, really want to rearrange it for sax quartet....because it would fit. The only hangup is the middle segue section that is all percussion rythm. But it can be done...
