Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement
Description: Ballad - Medium Easy
Publisher: Lush Life Music
"Snowfall" was the theme tune of Claude Thornhill, and as you would expect, it is a piano feature. Thornhill's chart has been transcribed in full, and this calls for all 5 saxes to double on clarinets for the first chorus. However, alternate sax parts have been written on the reverse pages which are written in Miller voicing, with the lead alto on clarinet and the baritone on alto. The brass ranges are easy and the chart will be playable by bands of all levels, provided you have a dexterous pianist who can play the rapid running fills near the end of the chart. "Snowfall" also makes a great Christmas chart.
