The Muppet Show Theme by Jim Henson Saxophone Quintet - Digital Sheet Music

For modern-day adults who grew up in the 1970’s and 1980’s, The Muppet Show marks a memorable and influential portion of their childhoods. This arrangement brings back all of those nostalgic memories by delivering that inimitable theme song with the energetic use of a Saxophone Quintet.In performance, this arrangement will reward the exaggerated use of dynamics. Every instrumental part gets its turn with the melody, but it’s important for the other players to stay out of the way of the lead. Since the tempo moves along at a pretty rapid clip, it’s also important to play lightly to not get bogged down and muddy during any of the technical passages.Other than a Soprano Sax part that briefly ascends to a written high "D" outside of the Alto Sax range, a substitute part for Alto sax is included that is identical other than it takes that phrase down an octave. The Bari Sax part is not unreasonably different from your average bari part, but there are a number of featured moments…the exposed note in measure 9 should be played to the bari-saxiest!This will make a fine addition to a sax quintet’s book for a nostalgia or novelty set!
