I'm in the process of finishing a new piece for concert band. For those of you who play in a band, please let me know if your ensemble would like to have a copy of the music. I'm making it available at no change to members of the forum.
The piece is scored for:
1,2 flutes
alto flute (featured)
oboe
1,2,3 Bb clarinet
bass clarinet
bassoon
1,2 alto sax
tenor sax
baritone sax
1,2,3 trumpets
1,2 french horns
1,2,3 trombones
baritone horn
tuba
Note: no percussion is used.
The composition does not easily fit in a single music category. Jazz is present in my harmonic voicings, orchestration, etc. Contemporary classical influences are also present as well as the inclusion of a tango. In writing this piece I'm not thinking about whether aspects of it are jazz, classical, or whatever. Rather, I'm just writing. The piece has shifting time meters; however, it should not be too difficult to perform.
Sets of the score & parts should be ready by early September.
For those interested in the music, please send your band name & location along with your contact information.
