Leroy Ostransky's Poem and Dance performed by the Grinnell College Saxophone sextet at the 2007 Winter concert Dec 9, 2007. Apologies for poor recording quality.
The six of us didn't get the fast part.... Probably because we didn't work on it that much..... It's a hard piece... Especially since we're sophomores in high school... xD
I noticed some of the mistakes myself. Don't want to sound to forward but these kids should check out some of my vids for a lesson in correct technique.
Yeah the composer didn't mean for the parts to be as loud as two people, but this is a six part song, I know because I played it last year in highschool. It is a pretty sweet sextet, nice job to this group of guys.

lead alto needs to watch his intonation on that high concert F sharp and concert G

it sounded nice but was there really 6 parts? Bad thing about doubling parts is the composer didn't mean for that part to be as loud as 2 people.
Sounds good though.
