Adrenaline Engines
Alto Saxophone
Articulation
Articulations are various effects placed on single notes as well as a group of notes. Articulations affect the
tone of the note.
In Adrenaline Engines we utilize:
1 Accents - emphasis on note with sustain (think more forte)
2 Marcato - emphasis on the beginning of note (think more forte)
3 Staccato - light (think more piano)
4 Tenuto - long and sustained with a broad sound (more mezzo forte)
