There is no score, just parts. The music relies more on chance coincidences that performer choices. I compose this kind of music to avoid relationships among the players, getting a  rich blend of soloists musical combinations. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-Stuart Saunders Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Players: 3\u003cbr\u003eLevel of Difficulty: Grade 5\u003cbr\u003eInstrumentation: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e Player I:  Soprano Saxophone\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e Player I:  Snare Drum, 2 Sus.
