Morning Song features the horn quartet mostly in a soloistic role - indeed there is an accompanied cadenza towards the end of the piece - but there are moments where the horns assume their conventional brass band role as harmonic support or playing the counter melody. This expressive composition shows all the versatility of the horn quartet and gives them the chance to be in the spotlight.

George Frederick Handel 's (1685-1759) Sonata No. 6 is well-known to the Violin repertoire. Therefore when French saxophonist Marcel Mule (1901-2001) arranged the popular piece for the Saxophone in 1951 it was very well-received. The Sonata No. 6 is made up of four movements: Adagio Allegro Largo and Allegro non troppo. Handel 's Sonata No. 6 was first published in 1732. Mule 's editions ensure that the Saxophone part contains the articulation phrasing and breath marks necessary to the instrument. For all classical saxophonists this Mule arrangement of the popular SonataNo. 6 is essential.

This work is based on the famous stories of Baron Münchhausen. In these tall tales the baron undertook all sorts of fabulous adventures. He flew for example on a cannonball or rode on a horse torn in two; he turned a hungry wolf inside out and pulled himself out of a swamp by his own hair.The historical figure of Münchhausen did exist and some of the tales were actually recounted by him while others have since been attributed to him. Four of the tales served as the inspiration for this composition. The music isn’t simply a word-for-word transcription of the stories however but rather conveys a particular mood or specific scene often with a humorous twist.Here are thefour parts of the composition: The Horse : During a snowstorm the baron ties his horse to a post and falls into a deep sleep. As he awakes the snow is melted away and the horse is dangling from the top of a church spire. Cannonball : The baron jumps onto a cannonball in flight to spy on a city under siege. In mid-air he decides to return whence he came by stepping onto a cannonball flying in the other direction. He then gets shot into the city a second time and opens the gates from within. Flight to the Moon : Baron Münchhausen flies to the moon in a floating spacecraft where he meets all sorts of strange creatures. Journey through the Earth : The baron jumps down into the bowels of Mount Etna and sets off on an adventurous journey right through the centre of the Earth.

The Ukrainian Bell Carol is part of a large choral work entitled Shchedryk by the Ukrainian composer Mykola Dmytrovich Leontovych (1877-1921). The tune is an adaptation of an old 'shchedrivka' a song traditionally sung on Ukrainian New Year's Eve (January 13th) which hopes for good fortune in the year to come. The tune has since been the inspiration for at least four different Christmas carols of which Carol of the Bells is the most famous. Philip Sparke has sourced the original Ukrainian melody to create this stirring arrangement.

His Douze études-Caprices for Saxophone will enable the pupil to attain brilliant technique on the instrument.

Being Caprices all Bozza 's studies are lively short and free from form making for a unique and essential aid in the progression of advanced Saxophone studies.

Manhattan was commissioned by the United States Army Band for their solo cornet player Woodrow English and first performed by them in Carnegie Hall New York in November 2003. The two-movement work demonstrates both the lyrical and technical abilities of this outstanding player. The 'theme' is a weekend in New York and the opening bluesy movement Saturday Serenade describes the city on a Saturday night. While writing Sunday Scherzo the composer pictured an early morning jog in Central Park. This vivaciously rhythmic second movement ends with an even quicker coda bringing the work to a brilliant close. Each movement can also be playedindividually when a shorter solo is required.
