I've got some Disney medleys written for SATB voice quartet and piano accompaniment. I thought there might be an easy way to try to re-jig them for our SATB sax quartet, but I don’t think it will be easy.
That said, I thought it might do my music theory self-education some good to have a go.
So I’ve put one of the pieces into Musescore

I quite like the way it sounds, but the 4 voices have pretty much the same tune, only a little bit of harmony here and there. It is the piano that provides the interest.
So I thought maybe I could write some of the sax parts to reflect what the piano does instead. The sop could hold the tune, the ATB provide the support, or share the tune around.
If I can work out a fool-proof method of sorting the pieces out for sax SATB, I can pick and choose which of the pieces to include in our medley (I have 4 different Disney medley books, covering about an hour and about 25 different songs!)
But my music theory only passed grade 5, and I have no idea on how to get started!
Maybe I should start somewhere less challenging?!
