Composed by Claude T. Smith. Concert Band. Extra condensed score. Composed 1970. Claude T. Smith Publications #CTS-7717-01. Published by Claude T. Smith Publications (CL.CTS-7717-01). The second solo work with band accompaniment was written for Doc Severinsen.. A rousing tarantella-type ostinato in 6/8 with plenty of Latin percussion opens the piece, which then gives way to a beautiful Adagio showing the lyricism of the soloist. A Da Capo brings us to the beginning, and then Smith challenges the soloist with a very difficult cadenza. The band accompaniment is straightforward, however the solo part is very advanced.
