Publisher: Hirsch Music Publications

Get your 'spookies' on with this terrific (and terrifying) Rick Hirsch composition for younger bands. Dark Forest is eerie and groovy all at once, and features optional improvised solos for your lead alto, trumpet, and trombone players. Rhythm section parts are fully notated and there are several additional wind parts included in the set. And it’s playable with reduced instrumentation of 4 saxes, 3 trumpets, 2 trombones and 3 rhythm.
