Printemps

Printemps by Henri Tomssi is a wind sextet for Flute, Oboe, Bb Clarinet, Alto Saxophone, Horn and Bassoon. This book includes the score for each instrument and the conductor's score. Lasting9 and a half minutes, this melodious piece is divided into three main parts and finishes on a Scherzando section. These three pieces musically describe the flirting process of birds in Spring.

1. Réveil desoiseaux / Birds wake up
2. Chant d'amour / Love song
3. Danse des oiseaux / Dance of the birds 
This piece is very difficult to play for all instruments involved, but simultaneouslyreallynice and challenging. Henri Tomasi also composed a variety of concerti for Alto Saxophone and for Trombone, as well as some ballades.
