This up-tempo swinger starts with a upwardly cascading fourths in the saxophone followed by mixed timbre ensemble passages playing snippets of melodic content. After a brief half-time section, and when the melodic line solidifies, the sections state the unifying motif without combining.Following ad lib solos by tenor and trumpet on fairly easy changes, there is more ensemble thematic statement and development which builds to a roaring finish.

Optional parts for French horn (alternate parts for Tpt 5-6 provided), tuba, and percussion (mallets and hand percussion). Tpt 1 highest note is D. Medium Difficult.
