-Composed by Derek Brown. -Upper Intermediate Level -Written for 8 saxophonists (double saxophone quartet: 2 sop, 2 alt, 2 tenor, 2 bari), although additional saxophones can double any of the parts -Includes 3 pages of performance notes, individual parts, and full score (44 pages total). -Approx duration: 4 min.

As the title “TACTiLE” hints at, this piece consists entirely of pitches and percussive sounds created only by the saxophones and hands of the players. You read that correctly, no breath or mouthpiece-in-mouth required the ENTIRE piece! Using the techniques detailed below, the 8 saxophonists are required to think of themselves perhaps more like a drum line than a traditional double saxophone quartet, key- slapping and clicking their way through a rhythmic and surprisingly harmonic adventure unlike any the saxophonist has likely been on.

For additional help, I’ve made very detailed demonstrations of all the techniques on my Youtube channel. You can find these by going to: DerekBrownSax.com/TACTILE

Composed by Derek Brown. For saxophone ensemble. 9 parts (2 sop, 2 alt, 3 tenor, 2 bari), although the parts can be doubled or tripled where necessary. Includes 3-page performance notes, individual parts, and full score (59 pages total). Advanced Level. All parts are expected to use various forms of extended techniques, like singing, stomping, slap tonguing and double-tonguing. The tenor 3 part (which Derek plays in the original recording), by far features the most extended techniques in his unique "BEATBoX SAX" style. A simplified version of this (broken into 2 separate parts) will be included shortly (and emailed to you when it's finished). Approx duration: 9 min.
