Julius Hemphill : Composer

One/Waltz/Time

August 9, 2018 by Editor

There are scores for this composition in two forms in the archive. One version for saxophone quartet (two alto, tenor, and baritone) was recorded by the World Saxophone Quartet on the album Live at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (1987) and published in the Julius Hemphill Quartet Collection by Subito Music. The archive includes parts in holograph for tenor and baritone saxophone.

The other version is for saxophone (not so designated), two guitars, and bass. This score is dated 1985 and appears in Music Manuscript Notebook 6 (MMN6). There are parts in holograph for cello, bass, and guitar, with the name “Bill” (for Bill Frisell) written on the guitar part. The Julius Hemphill Papers includes an audio recording of a JAH Band concert from 1986, in which this piece was performed.

Found on: Live at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.

From Marty Ehrlich: The annotation to the guitar part would imply that Hemphill performed this work with the version of the JAH Band that included Bill Frisell. Although there is no drum part written out for the small-group version, drums would be implied in a score like this.

Return to full list.
