  A lyrical and wistful Scottish air.

  A collation of Mozart melodies requiring quick changes in articulation, dynamics and mood.
• Bhangra Beats, Jan Steele
  A rhythmic, Punjabi-derived song.
• In Limbo, Karen Street
  A bright, calypso style with strong syncopations and some big intervals.
• Sax Scorcher, John Ross

• Chillin' in the Hud, Andy Scott
  Tricky Latin-influenced rhythms and sudden changes in dynamics.
• Sal, Gabriel Santecchia
  Selected score from the Sax Scorchers Study Competition
• Sleaze-Ball, Chris Gumbley
  Exaggerated lip slurs and vibrato make a virtue of stereotypical sax sleaziness here.

  Selected score from the Sax Scorchers Study Competition
• Atlantic Day, Lionel Ferer
  A baritone study with cadenza introduction to a funky work-out with some BIG intervals.
• Fives, Richard Payne
  Off-beat quavers and changing time signatures demand plenty of concentration in this lively study.
• Un Sorriso all'Ombra, R.A. Moulds
  An expressive, cantabile piece, requiring a full, even tone and well-controlled phrasing.
• It's About Time, Rob Buckland
  A swing work-out for your embouchure and sense of rhythm.
• See-Saw, Andy Tweed
  A hypnotic, legato study to test your tuning and embouchure.
• Distant Song, Richard Ingham
  A dream-time introduction to contemporary techniques and notation.
• Saxtitude, Ulrich Schultheiss
  Vigorous and funky, this requires a positive approach to articulation and dynamics.
• Set Piece, Kyle Horch
  Quirky and insistent, this is rhythmically demanding - and rewarding!
• Balletico, Nigel Wood
  Set study for The National Saxophone Choir of Great Britain entry audition.
• Saxtetics, Stephen Davies
  A bravura exploration of hard bop and improvisational riffs. Not for the faint-hearted!
