What is initially just a cloud of mysterious sounds turns into a contemplative melody played by the soprano. But then the five saxophones start swinging, the baritone begins walking and, finally, all of them launch into a soli section. This piece tells a personal story, like the great jazz ballads of the past. Advanced players will find it a challenge to intonation and rhythmic feel. The alto solo begins at medium intensity and proceeds to a roaring level in a bluesy section that ends abruptly with a return to the sedate piano.In addition to the usual chord symbols, voicings are also given to aid the less experienced player. This is a great change of pace chart. MediumThese arrangements for saxophones and rhythm section, written for the Eastman School of Music's award winning jazz ensemble, Saxology, showcase the saxophone section in unique and interesting ways. Though originally written for saxophones most of the arrangements include optional horn parts (flügelhorn/trumpet and trombon e) and work equally well with a mixed instrumentation.
