Jazz Ensemble Jazz Ensemble - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1308790 Composed by Charles Tenet. Arranged by Tobi Crawford. Jazz. Set of parts. 10 pages. Tobi Crawford #898036. Published by Tobi Crawford (A0.1308790). *THIS ACCOMPANIES THE VOCAL ARRANGEMENT* This arrangement came to me over a number of weeks in a very organic way that began with the ostinato piano figure that prevails throughout the piece. I began playing it unattached to any tune and I just liked the way the line descended in the left hand and how I had to find voicings in the right hand that made harmonic sense – like a puzzle. As I was playing around with this puzzle, thoughts of my father were swirling around in my head – I was at the end of a 4 year period of separation from my parents owing to the fact that I’m a Canadian expat living in the US and the borders were closed for a long time because of Covid, and then I had work visa issues and my parents were getting older before my eyes. They were also losing friends to cancer and other ailments and my dad, in particular, had experienced the loss of many close family members and friends during our separation and it was taking a toll. One day I sat down and played the now familiar-to-me ostinato but randomly I started to sing “Beyond the Sea� over it and it fit perfectly. I thought it a happy coincidence. As the days went on I committed to putting my ostinato with Beyond the Sea and the lyrics started to seep into my brain. I have, of course, heard these lyrics many times before, (who hasn’t seen Finding Nemo?) but the lyrics didn’t mean what I thought they meant… They’re NOT about the ocean, they are about my dad!!! Well, kind of… I realized, through careful reflection and by slowing the words down, that the lyrics are talking about a person in heaven who is patiently waiting for their partner to join them. Somewhere beyond the seaShe’s there watching for me…It’s far beyond the starsIt’s near beyond the moon And the lyrics end with them meeting, “We’ll meet beyond the shore, we’ll kiss just like before,� and the song ends with: “and never again I’ll go sailing.� It’s like the big bang went off in my head about why all these thoughts of my dad, and his friends, and this arrangement, and what it all meant suddenly just MADE SENSE and I was able to start formulating a plan. Performance Suggestions: The improvisation solo in the middle should be free of any traditional “scat syllables� and should be more of a lament. Listen to singers like Aubrey Johnson improvise on ballads for inspiration. An idea for that improv section might be to have a male singer start the improv, then a female singer joins (as if together in heaven) then they sing letter F together (warning: will cause tears…). All solo sections do not have to be sung as written – soloists can take liberties with the melody as the spirit moves.

Jazz Ensemble Jazz Ensemble - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.921666 Composed by Chris Bandy. 20th Century,Contemporary,Jazz,Latin. Score and parts. 91 pages. Chris Bandy #3663903. Published by Chris Bandy (A0.921666). Leap of Faith is a work for jazz band composed by Chris Bandy. It features a catchy melody, advanced harmonies, and syncopated latin rhythms. The music is based around the idea of being on the verge of an important decision-whether a choice for your career, your marriage, or anything else that would dramatically change the course of your life. The alternation between suspended and major harmonies illustrates the uncertainty and second-guessing of a person in this situation. The darker mood in the recurring bridge section expresses the worry that person may often experience. The piece also features an open solo section with changes for every player.The PDF contains the score as well as all the parts.Instrumentation: 4 trumpets, 4 trombones, 5 saxophones, piano, bass, drums.The piano part is also suitable for a guitar player, if guitar is desired.

Published by Austin Ralphson (A0.562968). This is an original arrangement of Pachelbel’s Canon by Austin Ralphson for big band. It does not sound much like the baroque original, however, and has been given a modern, big band facelift. This arrangement features catchy melodies, juicy harmonies and has a section near the end which can open out for improvised solos on any instrument. There are also some optional screamy high trumpet notes in the final section for those players who can reach them!

Instrumentation is: 2 Alto Saxes, 2 Tenor Saxes, Bari Sax, 4 Trumpets, 4 Trombones, Piano, Guitar, Bass, Drums.

Score and parts. 88 pages. Deaver Enterprises ASCAP #733698. Published by Deaver Enterprises ASCAP (A0.1133558). Neil Peart asked me to arrange “YYZ� for the 2008 Buddy Rich Memorial Concert in New York City. Knowing “Rush� fans would be in attendance and super tuned into the chart, we discussed some key moments in the composition that should remain true to the original and those where I could take some license. Like many of my arrangements for Buddy Rich, this is a “high energy� chart that is a real crowd pleaser with plenty of space to open it up for the drums and bass to be featured. Almost any instrument can be substituted for the soprano solo. The chart is very challenging and a strong trumpet section is important as is a really tight rhythm section. Alto 1 plays soprano sax throughout and the configuration is 5 Saxes, 4 Trumpets, 3 Trombones (3rd is Bass), Guitar (optional) Electric Keyboard, Bass & Drums.
