This version was re-purposed from a big band version of mine for a Trumpet solo with 13 trumpets. The 4 Trumpets, 4 Trombones and 5 Saxes were re-voiced into 13 Trumpets with the original rhythm section. The lyrics from the original CD are: Life is a melody that plays on and on,Love is a story that’s played by the strings of my heart. There are so many different turns and keys,And so the thread of living keeps weaving its work, And there’s always a song to sing,And there’s always a tear to shed,And there’s always a life to live…. Life is a string to hang the pictures of my soul,And if the wall remains then I will continue,To open up myself like a book to be read,Never ever fearful of what will be said. www.drakemusic.com  michaeldrakemusic@outlook.com.

The potion, an aphrodisiac, causes him to fall in love with everything he sees, kissing whatever is in front of him, eventually kissing a policeman on the street corner, who breaks his bottle of love potion. This arrangement is set for intermediate level jazz band and has solo space for the piano - but can of course be passed off to any member.

Published by DaimlerMusic (A0.1118481). Love Is A Losing Game is the story of a woman who is disillusioned with love. She has fallen head over heels for the man of her dreams. But what seemed like a beautiful promise turned out to be just an illusion. Outwardly self-confident and convinced of himself, but inwardly not up to the challenges of a relationship, he cowardly flees out of fear. Leaving her in loneliness and pain. This arrangement is for music fans and inspired Big Bands interested in telling an incredible story with authentic instrumentation. Johan Verhey is a professional musician and composer, as well as arranger. He knows how it feels to play a piece “in the pocket� with the intention of the original composer always in mind. His arrangements honour the Artist who wrote the original piece to express their soul. Each measure is created with precise attention to the intention of the lyrics. The instrumentation carries forward the story with dynamic harmonies. Johan Verhey understands the nuances of this piece and creates a dynamic and engaging arrangement. He also understands the power of the moment when the musician feels equally inspired and free to soar within the structure. The ability to play this arrangement does not require a specific skill level; only the heart , soul and intention is mandatory.More music from Johan Verhey, see: www.bestarrangementsforbands.com.

Jazz Ensemble Jazz Ensemble - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.973281 Composed by Louis Burke. Arranged by David Leech. Jazz. Score and Parts. 60 pages. David Leech #4967803. Published by David Leech (A0.973281). Running time: approximately 4:30Your Love is a beautiful ballad composed by the late Louis Burke, a Los Angeles based trumpeter and band leader. Louis came to me and said that he had this love song melody he had composed, and could I write an arrangement of it for his big band. I reharmonized it and made it into an alto sax solo.The first chorus is mostly sax solo, backed by some subtle brass and flute accompaniment. The second chorus starts with 16 bars of sax improvisation, followed by some ensemble work by the trumpets and trombones playing contrapuntally. The chorus ends by passing the contrapuntal baton to the sax section. The whole arrangement comes to a climax in the next eight bars and ends on a romantic note with a restatement of the melody by the alto sax.Medium slow ballad (quarter=76).Brass parts are moderately high. The lead trumpet has several high Ds, and one high E. The contrapuntal writing requires a high degree of independence from the musicians.
