The Watchmaker's Dream - Saxophone Quartet

Music by Roberto Di Marino
Sheet Music (score and parts): di-marino.it/thewatchmakersdr...
A solitary watchmaker spends his laborious and monotonous days of work immersed in the regular and constant ticking of his watches. His colorless existence comes alive only in those brief, wonderful moments when he falls asleep and begins to dream.

This is definitely on par with Lachlan Kuhn’s “The Contraption.” :)

[@frankgyeabour359]

no.

@@frankgyeabour359 For what it's worth, I'm very flattered by the comparison. Love this piece! - Lachlan

[@tjeffersonb]

@@kewntube I wanted to say that The Contraption was actually the piece that inspired me to get together a sax quartet of my own earlier this year. I still listen to it regularly

[@kewntube]

​@@tjeffersonb Nice one!

[@kieranmarsh9128]

That’s exactly what I was thinking!

[@juicymango8400]

I friggin love the eight note runs giving the song pace and supporting the long note melodies. Lovely arrangement

[@RadiantOrchid]

This is awesome! Poor bari sax never gets one of the long note melodies :P

[@finndavid2310]

Playing this as a sax quartet for a spring concert for my high school! Love the piece

[@kewntube]

Very nice.

[@simongross3122]

This is a wonderful piece. Quite unexpected.

Tonal harmony isn't dead!

[@marieforster1442]

What a magnificent composition!

[@grahamsax]

This is wonderful! ❤️

[@airedale1913]

Perfection

[@jamesvandermerwe5782]

Is this really free? Such an incredible composition.

[@rachellegault2838]

I have never wanted to play something more

I pinky promise this shit cooks

This is absolutely gorgeous! There isn't a chance to get this adapted for woodwind quartet is there?

[@joeyfletcher5281]

this is a woodwind quartet haha

[@khoshekhthecat]

​@@joeyfletcher5281 I think they meant a more traditional woodwind quartet

[@joeyfletcher5281]

@@khoshekhthecat there’s actually no “traditional woodwind quartet” in the common chamber ensembles. It’s a woodwind quintet, not quartet

[@khoshekhthecat]

@@joeyfletcher5281 huh! Thank you! I remember French Horn being involved sometimes, which I thought weird at the time, but then I remembered it's tone and... That's why it's there

Im not really familiar with copyright laws, would I have to get permission ot pay to use this in a concert?

[@RobertoDiMarino]

No need to ask for permission

Very beautiful!!!New subscriber! I compose myself and publish on my channel.🙏

[@thomasherzog86]

the second eighth, first after the eight break in the first bar alto and forward, should not be connected to the remaining notes. its 3/4, not 6/8. still a very nice piece.

[@frankgyeabour359]

sometimes the right answer isnt the best answer. its so much easier to read the way it is

[@thomasherzog86]

@@frankgyeabour359 i disagree, it would make the rhythm of that particular figure look outstanding and easier to see. i would even suggest a legato slur for the last four notes. But i suppose its a matter of opinion, as it wont sound very different either way. ^⁠_⁠^
