The Quintessence Saxophone Quintet and the Arnold Schoenberg Chor playing the wonderful cantata "Unter einem Himmel" (Under One Heaven), a composition by Ulrich Lettermann for mixed choir and saxophone quintet. The recording was recorded live at the Festival of Sacred Music in Paderborn, Germany in October 2009. A most original and natural-sounding combination of sounds, making one wonder why it hasn't been done before. Rhythmically contesting in the typical QSQ manner, the piece is sung by the Arnold Schoenberg Choir from Vienna, who exceed themselves in intonational and rhythmical accuracy. Just sit back and enjoy the second movement. The third movement will be coming in the new year...
This is great! I'm a classically trained Tenor sax player, and I approve of this video.

This must be before Shoenbergs pre 12-tonal genre.
