Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Swing/Funk - Medium

Publisher: Walrus Music Publishing

Featuring a tuneful and aggressive melody played by alto sax, trumpet and guitar, Idylwild alternates between traditional swing and a modern funky hip-hop feel. Ample solo space for lead alto is followed by a powerful shout section and brief recapitulation. This is a fun chart that really lets your lead alto player show his/her stuff! This composition was commissioned by Ted Newton and the Moreau Catholic High School Jazz Ensemble. No doubles are required of the saxophones. Top note for lead trumpet is a written high D, and top note for lead trombone is a written high G.
