Bass trombone, tuba and trombone choir

SKU: P2.90003

Composed by Jim Self. Chamber music, 20th century. Published by Potenza Music (P2.90003).

Pocket Change is a lively feature piece for Solo Bass Trombone and Solo Contra-Bass Tuba accompanied by 8 Trombone and Drums. (Solo Bass Tuba can be substituted for the Solo Bass Trombone). The title refers to the jazz player's term in the pocket. It was commissioned by Portuguese Tuba virtuoso Sergio Carolino and was premiered by him with his Porto Symphony colleague Bass Trombonist, Nuno Martens and the Wild Bones Gang --August 26, 2014 at GRAVISSIMO!, the Alcobaca International Low Brass Academy & Festival in Portugal. The concert was recorded live and is available on CD. Much of the piece is in 3/4 meter but the general feel is 6/4. This gives a lot of freedom to have mixed meter and hemiola rhythms throughout. An energetic opening in the trombones is followed by a statement by the soloists. The drums set up the first groove with a chattering, pointillistic trombone accompaniment. A 4/4 interlude leads to slow accelerating duet in the solo instruments setting up the 2nd groove, a syncopated pattern with anticipations that make every 3rd and 4th bar feel like odd meters. More background chatter follows under a quasi-Latin groove while the soloists trade figures. The slow middle section has the impression of free time with the solo bass trombone and solo tuba playing a challenging duet. The next part has bongos accompany each of the soloists with the other soloist providing the underlying groove. The final section is a high-energy double-time feel in the drums with everyone coming to final low pedal Bb. There is an optional slow, bluesy coda where the soloists play brief improvised solos. Pocket Change is for advanced players and will need a conductor. (8 Min.).

Perf ectly suited for students at the middle school, high school, and collegiate levels, Learning Harmony and Improvisation Using Conversational Solfege is the culmination of John M. Feierabend’s best-selling curriculum. As with all books in the Conversational Solfege series, this book continues the 12-step “ear-before-eyeâ� � approach while exploring the concepts of harmony and improvisation. To facilitate effortless aural learning, the book employs solfege syllables, clever illustrations, melodic patterns, and a unique method for part-singing called vocal chording. The first four units in the book introduce basic harmonic functions in major and harmonic minor, and the following eight units explore the various modes—Aeolian, Dorian, Mixolydian, Phrygian, and Lydian—and their implied harmonies. Improvisation is the natural extension of harmonic understanding, and this book presents ten challenge levels that ask students to perform increasingly difficult improvisational skills while vocal chording. These range from singing a single chord tone per function to adding passing tones, suspensions, retardations, and anticipations. In keeping with the Conversational Solfege tradition, units conclude with a representative sampling of folk repertoire and classical music—complete with bass lines and chord charts for all selections. With the effective step-by-step process presented in Learning Harmony and Improvisation Using Conversational Solfege, harmonic and improvisational understanding are more accessible and intuitive than ever. John M. Feierabend, PhD, has spent decades compiling songs and rhymes from the memories of the American people in hopes that these treasures will be preserved for future generations. He is a leading authority on child development in music and movement and served as Professor and Chair of the Music Education Department of the Hartt School of the University of Hartford.

Many polyrhythms and polymeters simultaneous combinations of more than one rhythmic pattern exist in todays music, with some being so common they could be referred to as rhythm licks. This book presents a unique and comprehensive approach to polymetric applications of various rhythms over common chord progressions and song forms in 3/4 and 4/4, written primarily for instruments with chordal capabilities. Non-chordal instrumentalists interested in rhythmic development and contemporary phrasing may also benefit. Polymetric rhythms will force a variety of harmonic anticipations and delays which can have a profound and beneficial effect on harmonic, melodic, and improvisational phrasing. In addition, the focused attention and expanded awareness needed to master these exercises can also help in your sensitivity and response to the surrounding environment and your interactions with other musicians and audience.
