Jazz Ensemble Jazz Ensemble - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.979662 Composed by Roger Aldridge. 20th Century,Contemporary,Jazz. Score and parts. 9 pages. Roger Aldridge #484937. Published by Roger Aldridge (A0.979662). This composition for 5 wind instruments and soloist explores interplay between structure and freedom. It is based on an 11-tone harmonic complex and a series of tonal effects providing backgrounds to, and interactions with, the soloist. The role of the soloist is entirely improvised. The soloist can conceivably be any instrument. Additionally, the soloist does not have to be limited to one musician. It can be expanded to multiple musicians -- up to the size of a small band (any genre). Any creative possibility can be explored. I envision this composition as being a framework for a collective creative process to take place between the soloist, conductor, and ensemble with each interacting with the others. In this way, the score is a point of departure for wherever the musicians want to take the music. PARTS: Smaller Ups And Downs does not have a set of parts. Since this piece is instruction-based and has minimal music notation, performers use individual copies of the concert pitch score and transpose their notes. CONTACT: http://www.rogeraldridge.com/contact.html PRO: BMI WEBSITE: http://www.rogeraldridge.com/ YEAR OF RELEASE: 2012 PERFORMANCE: The score is concert pitch, uses flexible instrumentation, and has a performance notes page.ENSEMBLE CONCEPTS: http://www.rogeraldridge.com/mid-size-ensemble.html.

Jazz Ensemble Jazz Ensemble - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.979627 Composed by Roger Aldridge. Contemporary,Jazz,World. Score and parts. 11 pages. Roger Aldridge #119381. Published by Roger Aldridge (A0.979627). New Tango No. 1: Movement (for jazz soloist, 5 wind instruments, and rhythm section) is an abstract piece. Inspired by the tango, it invokes dance movement as well as explores movement in and out of time in the music. The soloist's part is entirely improvised. The rhythm section goes between time and free-time. The soloist cues the rhythm section on when to make time and harmonic changes. The background ensemble is in free-time with each note conducted. During solos the background ensemble can improvise interactions with the soloist. This piece is highly dependent upon the soloist and ensemble to bring the music to life and take the audience on a journey. Space and understatement are important features of this music. The open, floating free-time melody and the space between its phrases enable the rhythm section to have a prominent role in playing layers of lines, textures, and colors. Using accordion and guitar (along with piano, bass, and drums) is highly recommended. A string instrument(s) such as violin or cello can improvise additional layers with the rhythm section. One of my essential concepts in this piece is for the ensemble to have the sound of a tango band (as closely as possible); however, the music has a great amount of freedom. The score was originally conceived for woodwind quintet (with alto flute). Alternate parts are provided for an assortment of commonly-used wind instruments. In this way, the piece can be performed by various combinations of instruments. As another possibility, two (or more) musicians can be used on each wind instrument part. This option of having doubled parts -- with either same or different instruments on a part -- is an easy way for larger ensembles to perform this music.

Jazz Ensemble Jazz Ensemble - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.979665 Composed by Roger Aldridge. Jazz,World. Score and parts. 12 pages. Roger Aldridge #512603. Published by Roger Aldridge (A0.979665). Fanfare (for 4 or 5 wind instruments and rhythm section) was inspired by Brazilian brass bands. It was written for music students at the Sandy Spring Friends School in Maryland. This music has an exuberant spirit with samba rhythms churning under contemporary harmonic voicings. It is intended to be a short piece; however, the vamp at the end can be extended with a solo or collective improvisation. Another option is to have a percussion intro before the horn section enters with the opening chords. While Fanfare was draws upon Brazilian music, it is in my own style. Unlike my other pieces for mid-size ensemble, the rhythm section is optional for Fanfare. In this way, the piece can be performed by woodwind or brass quintets, clarinet ensemble, or sax quartet/quintet as several possibilities. Additionally, it can be easily adapted for big bands and larger ensembles by doubling players on parts so that each line has a distinctive blending of tone colors. Suggested assignment of parts for a big band: I -- 4 trumpets (open); II -- clarinet, soprano sax; III - alto sax, trombone (open); IV - tenor sax, trombone (cup), trombone (bucket); V - baritone sax, bass trombone (open).

Jazz Ensemble Jazz Ensemble - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.979625 Composed by Roger Aldridge. Blues,Contemporary,Jazz. Score and parts. 17 pages. Roger Aldridge #118877. Published by Roger Aldridge (A0.979625). Blues For Lester (for jazz soloist, 5 wind instruments, and rhythm section) is an extended piece with an eclectic blend of jazz, funk, contemporary classical, and blues. It is an expression of my admiration for Lester Young, the great tenor saxophonist, who had many quirky qualities in his music. This piece draws upon aspects of Lester Young's playing that I admire and have internalized: His horizontal approach to harmony, how he played around with time in his phrasing, used wrong notes (from a vertical chord perspective) at times, and had an audacious sense of humor. These are expressed in Blues For Lester in my own style. The score was originally conceived for woodwind quintet (with alto flute). Alternate parts are provided for an assortment of commonly-used wind instruments. In this way, the piece can be performed by various combinations of instruments. As another possibility, two (or more) musicians can be used on each wind instrument part.

Jazz Ensemble Jazz Ensemble - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.979653 Composed by Roger Aldridge. Contemporary,Jazz. Score and parts. 10 pages. Roger Aldridge #441219. Published by Roger Aldridge (A0.979653). Shifting time funk (for 5 wind instruments and rhythm section)! The title expresses my disdain for contending with monster SUVs when driving on Connecticut Avenue in Washington, DC. As I envision this music, it is funky and adventurous. The piece is a minimalist composition -- the melody is only 16 bars. However, it has expanded improvisation concepts for the soloist and the ensemble. The ensemble's collective improvisation is to sound like music coming out of car windows in traffic. The sounds change quickly. Different kinds of music come, go, and overlap. Radios (or electronics) may be used for additional layers of sound. The soloists use four chord progression patterns. Each soloist determines which patterns to play and their sequence. The patterns can be played in any order. Ideally, the patterns are determined within a performance instead of before. The soloist communicates the patterns, and when to shift to a new pattern, to the ensemble by hand signals. The ensemble (including horn players) can improvise backgrounds and interactions with the soloist. Music styles can also shift within a solo. Performers can take the music in any creative direction they want to go with it. Note: There are differences between the score and the demo recording. The small group recording was made (from a lead sheet) several years before my mid-size ensemble score was written. For this new recording, the horn parts from my score were added to the earlier recording. The video syncs the pages of the score with the recording as closely as possible.

Jazz Ensemble Jazz Ensemble - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.979626 Composed by Roger Aldridge. Jazz,Latin. Score and parts. 17 pages. Roger Aldridge #118879. Published by Roger Aldridge (A0.979626). Sleepy Creek Samba (for jazz soloist, 5 wind instruments, and rhythm section) is a bright and happy piece. This samba has an unusual structure. The theme is 18 bars. Importantly, the last 2 bars are intended to sound unresolved, with the ascending major 7th chords, and be a springboard for the soloist. Solos are based on this 18-bar form. After the solos and an ensemble soli (note its use of space), a second theme emerges. This theme has a 12-bar form, with two 6-bar phrases. It merges with 16 bars of the first theme. Finally, a short tag takes the tune out with a surprise ending. The score was originally conceived for woodwind quintet (with alto flute). Alternate parts are provided for an assortment of commonly-used wind instruments. In this way, the piece can be performed by various combinations of instruments. As another possibility, two (or more) musicians can be used on each wind instrument part.

Jazz Ensemble Jazz Ensemble - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.979671 Composed by Roger Aldridge. CSIC Library Series. Contemporary,Jazz,Rock. Score and parts. 17 pages. Roger Aldridge #1989671. Published by Roger Aldridge (A0.979671). Baltimore Rowhouse (for jazz soloist, 5 wind instruments, and rhythm section) is an extended piece with dramatic changes in mood and style. It begins as a ballad featuring alto sax, suddenly shifts to rock-fusion guitar, and finally has a film noir flavor. Serial techniques are used in subtle ways throughout the score and provide compositional structure. The piece strikes a balance between notation and improvisational freedom for both the soloists and the ensemble musicians. The score was originally conceived for woodwind quintet (with alto flute). Alternate parts are provided for an assortment of commonly-used wind instruments. In this way, the piece can be performed by many combinations of instruments.

Jazz Combo - Digital Download SKU: A0.979644 Composed by Roger Aldridge. Jazz,Latin. Score and parts. 1 pages. Roger Aldridge #432855. Published by Roger Aldridge (A0.979644). This is a peaceful bossa nova that is dedicated to Carla Bley, one of my favorite jazz composers. It is a fairly simple tune. Harmonically, it is built around D9 sus4 and Dm7 (b5) chords. I stumbled upon this pattern one day as I was playing piano. I immediately liked the feeling it creates and the shift in harmonic color (between implied Dorian and Locrian modes). This is the only tune of mine that uses it. The measure of 5/4 coming unexpectedly gives a push to the tune's momentum. As I worked on this tune I thought about having another section, but nothing clicked. I came to the conclusion that the music said everything it wanted to say in 18 bars.

Solo Guitar - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.979661 Composed by Roger Aldridge. Blues,Contemporary,Folk,Jazz,World. Individual part. 6 pages. Roger Aldridge #484355. Published by Roger Aldridge (A0.979661). Donut Music is an extended piece for solo guitar. It was commissioned by Keith Calmes and is on his CD All We Know is Now. The music was inspired by a line in a story written by my granddaughter Eillonwy (then 8 years old): Sitting in a dark room, eating a chocolate donut. The music represents a stream of memories, images, and thoughts as one’s life is contemplated over a donut. The composition is in 9 movements...or bites. The movements have varied lengths, from miniatures to developed pieces, and draw upon various roots-based musical styles including blues, Appalachian, tango, jazz, and samba. Miniature compositions have been an interest to me for many years. Donut Music's imagery gave me an opportunity to have several miniature compositions along with the longer movements. Above all, this piece is meant to be fun and playful -- especially, in how old and new styles are juxtaposed. CONTACT: http://www.rogeraldridge.com/contact.html PRO: BMI VIDEO: https://youtu.be/he_aw8XV_s4 WEBSITE: http://www.rogeraldridge.com/ DURATION: around 8:00 to 10:00. YEAR OF RELEASE: 2012 PERFORMANCE: The lead sheet format enables performers have the freedom to shape this music to their vision and personal style. The score has optional improvisation in movements 2 (blues), 7 (tango), and 9 (samba). In addition, Donut Music can be performed as a complete composition or by using individual movements.

Jazz Combo - Digital Download SKU: A0.979638 Composed by Roger Aldridge. 20th Century,Jazz,World. Score and parts. 2 pages. Roger Aldridge #432537. Published by Roger Aldridge (A0.979638). Uxmal At Midnight is a slow tango. The tune is fairly simple however it has a beauty that invokes images and feelings of this magical place. This is one of my minimalist pieces. There are times when I use extended forms and times when I need only a few measures to convey a particular mood. The essential features of this piece are its simplicity, harmonic color, and use of space. The one exception to its simplicity is the shifting time. Like other pieces of mine that use shifting time, this music has a fluid movement -- with time expanding and contracting in ways that feel natural to me. For contrast, I decided to have the solo section entirely in 4/4. My minimalist pieces, and others that have a great amount of freedom, are heavily dependent upon the performers to bring the music to life.

Jazz Combo - Digital Download SKU: A0.979629 Composed by Roger Aldridge. 20th Century,Blues,Jazz. Score and parts. 1 pages. Roger Aldridge #427659. Published by Roger Aldridge (A0.979629). Pi, Why? is an unconventional blues that uses Pi (3.1415926....) as a sequence of melodic intervals. Do not let that scare you away -- the music swings. The structure of this 18-bar tune is based on 3-bar phrases and there is shifting time in places. The first 32 digits of Pi are used in this tune: 3.1415926535897932384626433832795. Here is how I converted the Pi numbers to melodic intervals: Simply, each number becomes an interval in relation to the root of the chord being used at the time. That is, the relationships change when the chords change. The intervals are natural or altered (b9, #9, #11, etc.) chord tones or higher tensions. For 3 on V7 chords, I use either natural 3 or minor 3 (enharmonically #9). The tune starts with the sequence of 3 (#9), 1, 4 (#11), 1, 5, 9 (b9) played twice with C7 (#9) and then transposed down a half-step for B7 (#9). The next sequence -- 2 (b9), 6, 5, 3 (natural), 5 -- is played with the Bb7 (#9) chord and so on through the rest of the 32-note sequence. While 3 is the first number of Pi, that is not why the tune is structured with 3-bar phrases. Simply, the 3-bar phrases felt natural and swinging to me. This tune has a strong blues flavor; however, it is not a conventional 12-bar blues in its structure or chord progression. The A part is 12 bars. Then, the B part is 6 bars with alternating 4/4 and 3/4 (one can think of it as 7/4). The B part also has a harmonic shift from V7 (#9) chords to V9 sus4 and major 7th chords.

Jazz Combo - Digital Download SKU: A0.979640 Composed by Roger Aldridge. Jazz,World. Score and parts. 1 pages. Roger Aldridge #432777. Published by Roger Aldridge (A0.979640). This is a romantic samba. I wrote this tune to express my wife's qualities of warmth and surprise...and how she is a wonderful dancer. I think of the tune as being fairly straight-forward; however, it has some surprises. The AB form is unusual in how the A part is 15 measures and the B part is 22. While the music is mostly in 4/4, there are two places where a measure or two of 3/4 is used to shake things up. Harmonically, there is a mix of standard II-V chord changes, parallel harmony, and symmetrical harmony. The melody has a floating quality. The sustained notes give the rhythm section space for fills.

Small Ensemble Double Bass,Guitar,Violin - Digital Download SKU: A0.979646 Composed by Roger Aldridge. Celtic,Contemporary. Score and parts. 1 pages. Roger Aldridge #433075. Published by Roger Aldridge (A0.979646). Smith Island Boat Song expresses the roots music side of my writing. It is a ballad that draws upon Scottish fiddle traditions and has subtle modern touches. The music was Inspired by Smith Island in the Chesapeake Bay. The non-traditional aspects include moving triads over a pedal point used throughout the tune and Lydian harmony (F triad over Eb) in the B section. The AABBCA form is unusual. The music builds slowly, starting gently in A and progressively building in B. The C section is the dramatic high point of the piece. Then, it tapers back down in the final A section.

Small Ensemble Bagpipe,Banjo,Double Bass,Guitar,Violin - Digital Download SKU: A0.979654 Composed by Roger Aldridge. Celtic,Contemporary. Score and parts. 2 pages. Roger Aldridge #441423. Published by Roger Aldridge (A0.979654). The Green-Roofed Barn draws upon Scottish fiddle music. However, it has a quirky spirit in how there are measures with missing beats. This tune came about when I was hiking in the hills of York County, PA near the Susquehanna River. I saw a barn with a green roof in the valley below. The barn had a sense of joyful grace about it and I began to hear this Strathspey in my mind. The tune was originally written in a traditional style. However, as the music evolved I decided to remove several notes as being too repetitive (notated as measures of 3/4). This gave the tune a quirkiness that appealed to me. As I figured, many hundreds of traditional Strathspeys have already been written. This tune is meant to be something different. Note: the demo recording is a Sibelius midi of only the melody.

Jazz Combo - Digital Download SKU: A0.979641 Composed by Roger Aldridge. Celtic,Jazz. Score and parts. 1 pages. Roger Aldridge #432873. Published by Roger Aldridge (A0.979641). October Joy is a slip jig (Celtic dance music in 9/8) with touches of contemporary jazz. I consider it to be one of my best fusions of roots music and jazz. Besides being a blend of Celtic and jazz styles, this piece has a number of unusual features. Structurally, I think of it as AAAB. The first A is 5 bars, the second A is 3 bars (transposed up a half-step to Ab), and the third A is 3 bars (transposed back to G). The B part, 9 bars in length, has a sudden change to E for the first 3 bars. Then, the chord progression becomes harmonically vague -- including a shift from major 7th chords to V9 sus4 chords. Shifting time is used throughout the piece with single or multiple bars of 6/8 interjected into the 9/8. While it has some quirky touches, this is music with a driving and joyful spirit.

Jazz Ensemble Jazz Ensemble - Digital Download SKU: A0.979672 Composed by Roger Aldridge. Jazz,World. Score and parts. 3 pages. Roger Aldridge #2037243. Published by Roger Aldridge (A0.979672). This piece is part of a series of tango-jazz compositions. Each one explores a particular quality of the tango. Number 6 is about dancers becoming attuned to one another. Unlike my other tangos, New Tango No. 6 is entirely in free-time. The melody floats over the background with a fluid movement. This piece expresses an open approach to my music: anything can be tried with it. Using free-time in this way, the melody player(s) and the background players need to be in visual communication with one another on when to make the harmonic changes. In effect, the process of performing this piece is an expression of its title.

Jazz Combo - Digital Download SKU: A0.979674 Composed by Roger Aldridge. Jazz. Score and parts. 2 pages. Roger Aldridge #3010815. Published by Roger Aldridge (A0.979674). Catoctin Snowfall was inspired by a day of snow at Catoctin Mountain in Maryland. It begins peacefully and increases tempo to invoke images of snow blown by mountain winds. The second section, sounding unresolved, serves as a springboard for the soloist. After the solos, the piece returns to a peaceful mood with images of snow-covered woods. As with most of my music, Catoctin Snowfall can be performed in different ways. In addition to expressing a snow storm, it can have a joyful spirit of children (or one's inner child) enjoying the snow.

Studio B was written for the music students at Sandy Spring Friends School in Maryland. It is a fairly conventional blues that can be played either slow and soulful or up-tempo and swinging. It starts with an Ellington flavor and quickly becomes more angular and Monkish. Studio B is the music classroom in the school's performing arts center where I worked with the SSFS jazz ensemble in a series of classes.

Fanfare was inspired by Brazilian brass bands. As I envision this music, it has an exuberant spirit with samba rhythms churning under contemporary harmonic voicings. It is intended to be a short piece; however, the vamp at the end can be extended with a solo or collective improvisation. Another option is to have a percussion intro before the opening chords. While Fanfare draws upon Brazilian music, it is in my own style. CONTACT: http://www.rogeraldridge.com/contact.html PRO: BMI WEBSITE: http://www.rogeraldridge.com/ YEAR OF RELEASE: 2015.

Jazz Combo - Digital Download SKU: A0.979634 Composed by Roger Aldridge. Jazz,World. Score and parts. 1 pages. Roger Aldridge #428109. Published by Roger Aldridge (A0.979634). This piece is part of a series of tango-jazz compositions. Each one explores a particular quality of the tango. Number 2 expresses a mysterious mood and has a touch of blues. New Tango No. 2 is an unusual tango in several ways. Given that many of my tangos have shifting time, this one is entirely in 4/4. The A part is 12 bars. A distinctive feature of this section is the use of blues scales over triads. The B part is 8 bars. As a contrast, this section has a harmonic shift to minor 9th chords. The tune's 20-bar AB form is used for solos. To underscore a mysterious mood, the coda has a false ending (2nd bar of the coda) before starting up again (repeating bars 9-11 of the A section) and leading into the real ending.
