HAH! I love it - I have a tenor sax laying around and it never occurred to me to do this. It actually sounds really cool. Kudos to you for experimenting
*.* it's awesome! I just began the thin whitsle.. but had play alto sax nearly 7 years and I restart again now... and with this, you make me wanna really to really master the both! What's this song? Did you had any partitions?
Well done !.....Have you hear Noel Sweeney from Longford ...he plays trad on Sax and Flute...has produced a CD. Lovely to hear a bit of good innovation!
Nice one! Is this based on a reel or a jig or something. I am trying to get some celtic stuff on my alto. The ornamentation is what makes it - how do you approach that? Transcribing?
It gives me associations to the south indian saxophone player Kadri Gopalnath - if any stumbles over him, he is well worth a listen. He has tuned the saxophone into a south indian classical instrument, and really plays well.
despite the fact that it was probably unusual to play the reels on the sax it was surprisingly very well done and I'm a flautist and scottish as well so I know what you mean
prety good after not palying for a while... and yes doing irish embellishments are hard with keys on the toneholes... but you pull it off really well... i should try my jig music on my alto... thanks for the idea
I was wondering what song you played on this? I am now back at school and am doing the same thing. I was hoping to do a reply to you. I will either way, with a different celtic song, but I'd prefur to do this one if you odnt midn!
It's beena long time but am learning it as I sit here. I love the song but it is very hard for me to not play it as written since I am a classically train pianist and play saxopyhone in concert bands :P
I really like the way you play it, so Im trying to to play it 'perfect' like the sheet music :P.
dude, just to tell u, that is an alto sax. and... on another note, i play jazzy stuff on my tenor sax, and man, no matter how bad i feel, if i pick up that tenor and start playing the music right and then start playing some improv and it starts sounding good.... it is like a narcotic, i immediately feel awesome... i dont kno if it like that for anyone else, but the sax is like.... i dont kno, but it is really awesome to me
That's exactly how I feel when I'm just improving with my sax I swear it's like I can just feel what to play it's almost like me and my sax are one. I am convinced I sound my best when I am improving
My sister will love this! She plays saxophone and was wondering if it was possible to play Celtic music on it. You've just proven that it is. Awesome!
Very inspirtional as for my "A level Music" course I am writing a folk piece for a clarinet et band. You surely can't have taken a year brake??? I wish I could play my sax like that!
keep your fingers closer to the keys for faster playing and work on your breathing. kinda shoddy. perdy good though. fiddle = bad, but prolly getting there. flute/whistle/sax = good. just work on the breathing and tone (mainly for sax)
WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOUR AWESOME!!!! That was amazing!!!!!!!! Holy cheese!!!!! You rock!!!! I love Celtic music and honestly when I saw that it was on a sax, I was all "hmm, I don't think that would sound too good" but you SO prooved me wrong!!!!
That was so cool! I play alto sax too. I've never really tried playing that kind of music though. I bet if you played it on a soprano it would sound amazing. Good job!
hey from one sax player to another great job! and have you ever een river dance? if you haven't your prayrs will ba awnserd becuase they have threeinstermentalists and one is a sax player mostly saprano but also alto, either see the theatrical production live if you ever get the chance or rent the vid! but still koodos to you!
haha...There actually are Irish cds with sax. Deanta, one of my favorite bands has a couple songs on the album with sax. One version of riverdance also had sax in one of the songs. I'm sure there are others.

oh yes, and if you put the mouthpiece protector on the sax, it can be called "safe sax". That makes it a sexophone :-)
