How to play the accompaniment with my Saxophone?

• Aug 24, 2021 - 10:09

Hello everybody.

I would like to play this piece, where i play the voicing part and with the piano accompaniment.

But as far as i understand i need to transpose either my part or the piano. Problem is, that i like how the voicing sounds when i play it, but if i transpose the piano down a major 6?, to match my alto sax it sounds horrible.

What are my options here?

This song was played at our wedding so i want to impress her with this, once i get it all figured out.. :-)

Thanks for your time.

Yes, you could transpose the song to a new key if you want. See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/transposition on how to transpose. You could transpose everything down by an interval of a major sixth and that would make the alto part have the range it was originally written in. Of course it would sound different, but if you make sure you transpose the piano part and alto part together they should still sound good.
