Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Swing - Medium Difficult

Publisher: Walrus Music Publishing

This light-hearted blues in F has a 'clippity-clop' Western feel, reminiscent of Sonny Rollins's 'I’m an Old Cowhand.' Intricate solis are included for the sax, bone and trumpet sections. Ranges are manageable, with lead trumpet going to B5 and lead trombone to Ab4. 'Cow Tippin' was written in homage to the cloned cattle interspersed within the herd at UCONN, where MacDonald is employed. It was commissioned and debuted by Marshall University's Jazz 1 Ensemble, directed by Martin Saunders.
