Familiar elements, then: metric modulations (fast swing to hiphop, in
this case), long cross-rhythms, shifted-root harmony. There are 2 solo-sections
over changes (tenor and trumpet on the CD, but open..) and an open drum
solo.
I'm including a .pdf file of the first few pages of the score and an
mp3 sample of the final theme.
Original line-up: as, as/cl, ts, ts/cl, bs/fl, bcl. 4 tp(flg), 3 tb,
tba, pn, bs, dm.
Length: 6'30" - but only if the solos are kept short!
Information about ordering the music can be found on the "contact"
page- see link above.
There are several alternative versions:
- for a 'normal' line-up (without the extra bass clarinet, bass trombone
instead of tuba)
- fl, as/cl, as/bcl, ts, ts/cl, bs, 4tp, 2hn, 3tb, gt, pn, bs, dm.
