Hot Breath, Cool Air [sax quartet] (2005) - wind quartet/quintet by Steve Tayton (Connect Music)
A musical rollercoaster, but should be fun to play!The title, Hot Breath Cool Air is just a reference to the hot breath that causes condensation in wind instruments- and Cool Air is a play on words, ie Ayre on a G string.

Great Job:
The music says it all. Great Job. Very inspiring and interesting.
What wonderful music for saxaphones to play.
Orchestraters would do well to check this piece out for how to write for this combination. I repeat great job and I thank you for it.
Sincerely with Health, Love, and Music, Billy VerPlanck
