SKU: A0.758974
Composed by Bedrich Smetana. Arranged by Timothy J. Olt. Romantic Period. 46 pages. Olt Music #2894517. Published by Olt Music (A0.758974).Although the Bartered Bride might not be performed often now, the Polka from Act 1 is still near and dear to the hearts of music lovers. This staple of the orchestral pops repertoire translates into a fun and challenging work for sax ensemble.
This work is scored for an unusual instrumentation for a sax ensemble. The work calls for 2 soprano, 2 alto, 2 tenor and 2 baritone saxes, but is actually divided into 2 sax quartets. This is to allow for use as a side-by-side work for student and professional ensembles.
There are also percussion parts. Although they may be considered optional, the timpani part is very important.
