Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Swing - Medium

Publisher: Lush Life Music

 

This Dorsey classic is another great solo spot for Trombone. Based on a tune by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakoff, the original arrangement was by Tommy Dorsey himself. A well known piece, Song of India was originally scored for just 6 brass. The chart has been augmented to a full section of 8 brass. The Trombone and Trumpet solos are written out in full, though your 2nd Trumpet player can improvise a solo from the chords given. This arrangement sounds like the original article, and includes the Clarinets (Altos 1 and 2) scored in the intro. All dynamics and articulations are given, and these are particularly important to give the chart its correct feel. It is rated as a medium difficulty chart, though the 1st Trombone does go to high C.
Duration: 3 minutes 10 secs
Style:        Swing @ 175 b.p.m.
