Beautiful and creative adaptation of the familiar theme from Dvorak's New World Symphony, this arrangement is just what you need for the ballad spot in your contest/competition programs. Written as a trumpet/flugelhorn feature, it is equally effective spotlighting an alto saxophone. The frequently changing harmonies and flowing counter lines keep things interesting while the limited ranges and easy rhythms keep things simple. No worries. A guaranteed winner!

The Iguana Returns is a grade 2 funk chart. The nomadic iguana (first introduced in a previous release in this series, Please Don't Climb On The Iguana) is a steel sculpture outside of the Science Museum of Minnesota in St. Paul. Since the earlier piece, the Science Museum has changed locations, so the iguana had to leave for a time. It has since returned to its new home, looking forward to new adventures in the future.

Inspired by the music of Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays, this relaxed bossa casts piano in the primary solo role, with tenor sax taking a solo chorus midway through. Though the chart is relatively quiet, rarely rising above the mp dynamic level, a dramatic climax gives the band a chance to release its full power and energy. Originally recorded by Tomaro on Home Again (Positive Music PMD 78019-2), the scoring requirements are standard. Rhythm section parts are notated with chords cued. Duration 4:30.
