Snowdog
s Rock was commissioned
by the Central Middle
School Jazz Ensemble in
White Bear Lake,
Minnesota. The piece
introduces some different
musical elements in the
context of a familiar
groove (rock) and
familiar chord
progression (blues). The
bridge sections (bars
17-24 and 41-48) feature
tone clusters that are
somewhat unusual in jazz
ensemble pieces. Play the
piece on a cold winter's
night to heat up the band
and the audience!
