'Poet & Peasant' arr. for Saxophone Quartet (1846) - quartet (of the same instrument) by Franz von Suppe arr. Rodney Parker arr. Rodney Parker (Dorset Wind Music)
Suppe's overtures are always popular with players and audiences so here is his 'Poet & Peasant' Overture, slightly abbreviated, for your Saxophone Quartet. Something for all the players here which would go well in a concert or as background music. If it is popular, I intend to arrange his 'Light Cavalry' Overture next.
