Georgia on My Mind – A Soulful Ballad for Saxophone Quartet (SATB)

One of the most beloved ballads of all time, reimagined for saxophone quartet. Written by Hoagy Carmichael in 1930 and immortalized by Ray Charles, Georgia on My Mind has become a true American standard – a song of longing, warmth and deep soul. This arrangement captures that soulful spirit, letting the melody sing through the rich, velvety blend of four saxophones, supported by lush harmonies and expressive, singing lines in every voice. Accessible yet rewarding, it is an ideal choice for intermediate to advanced ensembles looking for a moving ballad to bring warmth and emotion to their concert program.
