Paul Kelly - Peace - Tenor Saxophone Quintet
This is me, charlez360, playing along to Paul Kelly’s song, “Peace” with five different tenor saxophone parts. In case you are not familiar with the original, it was played on a mellow, dark-sounding guitar. I first heard this song in the movie, “Any Given Sunday” and fell in love with it.
The ‘Tenor 5′ part is playing the basis for the whole entire song. ‘Tenor 4′ plays the guiding tones, while ‘Tenor 3′ plays a little melody that I created to fit in with the entire composition. ‘Tenor 2′ plays the melody for the beginning, and ‘Tenor 1′ ends the song with a little improvised solo. I highly recommend listening to this song with headphones, it sounds very soothing; its almost therapeutic haha. Can you guys give me feedback? I really love doing duets, trios, quartets, etc., but don’t know if my subscribers and YouTubers will like them. Do you guys like this kind of thing?
As a sidenote, YouTube pushed ‘Tenor 4′ and ‘Tenor 3′ WAY back, which kinda changed the sound I had originally produced. But if you remotely enjoy this, you can request a free mp3/wma by sending me a message on YouTube.
I hope you enjoy it, and sheet music MIGHT be written for this song, I haven’t decided, but as for my other songs:
