Grade 2

SKU: CL.032-4657-01

Composed by Jr. Vuono. Jazz Ensemble. Extra full score. Composed 2018. Duration 3 minutes, 51 seconds. C.L. Barnhouse #032-4657-01. Published by C.L. Barnhouse (CL.032-4657-01).

Time to dial back the metronome a bit with this relaxed slow swing with a dreamy disposition. This brilliant chart is the perfect showcase for the entire ensemble, and includes a brief piano introduction, velvety bucket‐muted brass, and a very pretty solo spot for your lead alto saxophone. A gradual crescendo after the alto solo leads to a four bar shout before returning to the volume and tone set at the beginning. Colorful textures and voicings abound, and the optional flute part will add an extra glow of color, but the chart plays just a beautifully without. A superb change of pace for concert or contest!

This dreamy Brazilian samba sets the haunting melody of Chopin’s Prelude #4 as a background to a beautiful Trombone feature that takes us through a lushly-scored journey of a life well lived, as it soars to a joyous, half-time funk groove before winding back down to an introspective end will truly leave the audience floating.
