Japanese Songs - Saxophone Quartet

This is a medley of 11 carefully selected songs from wonderful tunes sung in Japan.
The changes in seasons are condensed into each song. I would appreciate it if you could show the richness of the melody and the subtle or bold changes in the accompaniment while emphasizing the texture of each song.

Though swing is used at F "Tanko Bushi", please express clear time. J "Donguri Korokoro", K "Zui-zui-zukkorobashi", and M "The Hare and The Tortoise" were arranged for medium swing. Please enjoy the development that differs much from the simplicity of the original song. N "Soran Bushi" is in fast swing, so I expect a thrilling performance that prioritizes the sense of speed rather than swing of eighth notes. Although this is a long piece, you can select specific songs, for example, playing only "Furusato".
