Christmas Songs Arranged for Saxophone Quartet
It’s Christmas time soon, so I am sharing my arrangements of the well known traditional Christmas Carols such as Silent Night, Jingle Bells and more for AATB saxophone quartet (soprano part substitute for 1st alto provided). Note that I am aware that these arrangements are shared on the internet without my permission (Scribd.com and similar websites), but the older versions contain errors and here you will find the most recent versions.

Donna Lee Saxophone Quartet
Donna Lee Saxophone Quartet osnovali su 1999. godine Zdenko Ivanušić i Andrej Henigman. Članovi kvarteta danas su Zdenko Ivanušić /sopran, alt/; Andrej Henigman /alt/; Vanja Ileković /tenor/; Aleš Suša /bariton/. Kvartet je od osnutka imao brojne koncertne nastupe, te nastupe na radiju i televiziji.
DLSQ izvodi obrade jazz standarda, mada se i originalne obrade i skladbe 29th Street Saxophone Quarteta i World Saxophone Quarteta mogu naći na repertoaru. Kvartet teži autorskom zvuku preko originalnih kompozicija i aranžmana Zdenka Ivanušića.
Uz to što su izvrsni instrumentalisti, članovi kvarteta su svestrani i fleksibilni glazbenici koji posjeduju improvizatorske vještine prijeko potrebne u jazzu ali i u suvremenoj tzv. klasičnoj glazbi. DLSQ je ansambl koji njeguje robustan zvuk s tipično saksofonističkim pristupom, ali može biti i lirski s eteričnim zvukom u baladama. Donna Lee Saxophone Quartet je izdao dva CD-a: “Four Odd” (2005.) i “Mellow” (2008.) za Zivaldo Records.
