Star Wars Instrumental Solos (Movies I-VI): Alto Sax (Book & CD) Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I really like this book. I recently got back into playing the saxophone and this was one of the first music purchases I bought for it. The music is overall pretty simple. It comes with 16 songs, as it has listed. The great bonus for me is the CD that comes along with the book. The CD has 33 tracks on it...a warm-up track to start with, and then 2 tracks for each song. The first track of each song is an orchestra playing and you can play along with them. The second track is that same orchestra, only without any saxophone. Essentially you become the saxophonist in the orchestra.
The big plus for me was learning some songs from a major movie that pretty much everyone has seen. When I play these songs (with or without the CD), it's fun to actually have the person listening to me go, "Oh! I know that song!". Definitely recommend.

For the first time, Star Wars(R) A Musical Journey (Music from Episodes I-VI): Instrumental Solos includes selections from all six Star Wars(R) movies arranged for Flute, Clarinet, Alto Sax, Tenor Sax, Trumpet, Horn in F, Trombone, Piano Accompaniment, Violin, Viola and Cello. The arrangements are completely compatible with each other and can be played together or as solos. Due to level considerations regarding keys and instrument ranges, the wind instrument arrangements are not compatible with the string instrument arrangements in this series. Each book contains a carefully edited part that is appropriate for the Level 2û3 player and a fully orchestrated accompaniment CD. Each song on the CD includes a demo track, which features a live instrumental performance, followed by the play-along track itself. Also included is 4-color art as well as black and white art from the movies.
