Irish Fantasy

Swann Hennessy (1866-1929)

SATB Saxophone Quartet

Irish Fantasy by Swann Hennessy, for SATB saxophone quartet. This fantasy is based on Hennessy’s Second String Quartet. It is comprised of excerpts of the two final movements of that work and includes many well known Irish tunes including “Coming Thro’ the Rye” and “Charlie, He’s My Darling”. If you enjoy playing Eliot del Borgo’s Irish Suite, you might like Hennessy’s Irish Fantasy.

This transcription is for SATB Saxophone Quartet. No altissimo is required of any player but the full range of the saxophone is used.
