Does anyone know the tenor solo for we will fall together
could some post the notes if they know them please cause as of right now im improvising the solo and it sounds nothing like what im looking for sone help me plz
Where did you find this? Thats absolute gold
You just gotta know what to look up on google
You, sir, are a God of Google and I praise you. I can only aspire to your powers.
I wonder why that solo isn't included in the transcription available on this site.
I don't think anybody has wanted to make a tenor tab for We Will Fall Together for the exact reason that they couldn't get the solo, and people would ask for it. I didn't write this solo, nor the tabs online here, but with both I'll get around to making a full tab of the song for tenor sax.
Oh I see. Savage's transcription of the song sounded right except that it is missing the solo. Horn transcriptions are alot of work, especially with crazy solos like that one. I find jazz-like solos to be the hardest.
Thanks SkaMasta for recognizing the work involved, but with that much time and effort put into it, there's NO way I'd leave you guys without the main solo. Check my Finale score again, the solo is there, but I'm pretty sure it's an alto sax solo, and so that's the staff I put it in. Maybe they change the key, or maybe Jim has a good altissimo range and plays it on tenor live, but there's an alto in the recording, and I think that's the sax that does the solo. This also solves the problem someone mentioned about not having a G or G# key on their tenor.
No, most saxes don't (actually some altos and sopranos have a high G key, but not tenors and baris as far as I know), and unless it's some ridiculous custom model, I would bet there is no saxophone at all out there with a high G# key. To hit these notes on saxophone, you have to master a skill called altissimo (in a short, mildly accurate definition, it means to overblow certain weird fingerings so they come out as real, high notes above the high F or F# that your saxophone normally plays). With altissimo, professional sax players can increase their range by more than 2 octaves. If the solo was done on alto, then anyone wanting to play it can, as the highest note is only an E, high yes, but not altissimo. If you really want to play it on tenor, that's fine, as long as you have the altissimo to do it (it's not too hard, you'll only need two notes, the G# and the A, the A is one of the easier altissimo notes to hit, but the G# may give you some trouble. Try looking some fingerings up online, or if you're really serious, look for a book called Saxophone High Tones by Eugene Rousseau, but either way, remember, some of the altissimo fingerings are different on alto and tenor, so don't try to use alto fingerings for tenor sax). If you can hit these two notes, and have the technical mastery to play fast lines up in the palm keys, then transpose the line to tenor and go for it. If not, then if you have an alto accessible, try it on that, I guarantee it's an easier learn.
Also, if you're interested in accuracy, I would find my full version of the song and pull the solo from there. I don't mean to offend the OP (and I don't think I will because I think he posted that he found this in a google search, and didn't make it himself), and this transcribed solo is alright, and has the basic notes, but it doesn't have a lot of the ornaments that make the solo so good. It's also in eighth notes, which I guess is fine, but it means the song has to be at a ridiculous speed of 300bpm. I have mine transcribed into 16th notes so you don't have to count ridiculous speeds when you read it. It also fits into the song a lot better, as if the solo was in 8th notes, the rest of the song would have something ridiculous, like whole notes tied over for bars on end (not just 2 at a time, or even 4 might be acceptable).
You're welcome, Savage! You have a good ear for horns. You are definitely the top dog at horntabs.net when it comes to sheet music transcriptions.
Hey, thanks SkaMasta, I just hope everyone gets a lot of use out of the tabs and sheet music I transcribe. I'm here to help as much as I can. Actually, I was looking through this song, and I realized that I'm missing two notes in the solo. This is at bar 120, and it should really read: half G#2, quarter D#2 tied to a triplet eighth note figure- D#2, G#2, A2. I have the G# and A staccato in order to make it sound a little more like the recording, but I think the soloist bends the time a little bit there, so they sound slower. Either way, sorry everyone for missing that the first time, and thanks again for anyone that appreciates my transcriptions. Really, anyone that tries to help horn tabs and sheet music get around deserves credit, even if you've only ever submitted one tab, as long as you're trying to help out a fellow horn player. This means a lot of people on this site, definitely including SkaMasta. Even the people that use the tabs are helping keep ska (and many other horn-filled genres) alive by listening and wanting to play it. I guess the most credit is due to Sander for putting this all together and spending tons of time reworking it. We have him to thank for all of horntabs.net.
thanx for the tab but i dont havea high g or g# key on my tenor i have a high f# and is there any other form of this like in tab cause that will make it easier for me thanx!!
*cough* *cough* so what exactly would you google to find that music?
