If you are looking for a great-sounding medium swing tune that features tutti ensemable rhythms, this is the perfect chart for you! Even though there are short solos for trumpet and tonor, the primary focus is on the full ensemble.
This bright change-of-pace work evokes the toe-tapping sounds of the old west as settlers circle the wagons round for a Saturday night hoedown. Featuring athletic, yet very playable fiddle-style tunes that wander throughout the ensemble, the music also uses simple double-stops and contrasting rhythms that keep things moving along.
Arranged here for flexible soloist and strings, this haunting melody from Argentine tango composer Astor Piazzolla provides an impressive showcase for a violin, flute, or oboe soloist. Beautifully scored for string orchestra and carefully paced.
