HORNS
AND STUFF |
A quick reference guide
for stage band and dance band arrangers.
It contains notes on ranges, registers,
and characteristics of instruments most
often associated with stage and dance
bands. It includes a comprehensive
section on Latin instrument rhythm
patterns and a basic chord chart.
Musicians new to arranging will find it
to be an invaluable reference.
Experienced arrangers will find
themselves referring to it more often
than they might imagine. |

This
arrangement is played pretty straight. Nothing very Jazzy, but with some nice harmonies. This piece has a very nice blues piano interlude in between choruses. Basic chord progressions (with some subtle
(Heh! Heh!) modifications). Our audiences are getting older so throwing a in little old-time rock doesn't hurt. Includes: Silhouette, You Send Me, Oh! Donna, Oldies But Goodies, etc.
For Alto, Tenor, Bari (can be dropped), Trumpet,
Trombone (can be dropped), Piano and rhythm. SAMPLE |

Bossa! Bossa is coming back, big time! The tune is vintage Disney, but the arrangement is not. I love the piano and rhythm section in this one. Of course, the horns are not bad either.
It is always fun to do a tune that people recognize
but in a different way than they have ever heard it
before. For: Alto, Tenor, Trumpet, and Rhythm. |

String Quartet. From the 1988 release of "Phantom of the Opera", this is essentially a duet between the Flute (or Violin I) and the Violin (Violin II) just as the song is a duet between Christine and Raoul in the movie. There are several places where the tempo can be "bent" for more dramatic affect. This
is a real crowd pleaser at receptions and corporate dinner music gigs.

Amazing
Grace |
This
great piece was just rewritten to be more in a New
Orleans style. Not necessarily Dixie but with
some of those influences. It has a piano solo
first 16 bars very slow and simple with a little help
from the bass and with the guitar (if you want) doing
a little arpeggio background. Then the clarinet
(or alto if you wish) comes in with an up-tempo lead
followed by the tenor and trumpet and then back to a
very moving and slow finish. For clarinet,
tenor, trumpet, and rhythm. Each time a new horn comes
in with the lead there is a modulation that the
arranger chose to write with accidentals instead of
show multiple key changes. Comment:
That's his choice, but kind of lazy I think..

Saxophone Quartet-- One of Joseph Lamb’s best rags, and one of my most challenging arrangements. The parts for the top 3 horns are highly syncopated throughout, and while the Bari part is less syncopated, it has some large jumps and few breaks, so you gotta keep it hoppin’. Scored for SATB or AATB. Bass Sax can replace the
Bari. Key: Eb/Ab SAMPLE

A syncopated concert waltz by Scott Joplin. This piece has several different sections and gives the performers many opportunities to vary the mood. Each horn gets its chance to have the melody. Unlike many ragtime pieces, the rhythm is not overly complex, making this a good piece for players of moderate ability, though the chromatic sections and several key changes may be challenging. Scored for SATB or AATB. Bass Sax can replace Bari.

Bros Medley

Straight out of the Blues Brothers. "Stand By Your Man" and then
"Rawhide". I can't hear either one of
these tunes without picturing those beer bottles
breaking against the protective fence in front of the
band (stand-ins for the "Good Ol' Boys") in
the movie. A quite fun and entertaining arrangement! For Alto, Tenor, Trumpet. Piano, and rhythm. |

For
young lovers of an older nature...This is the old rock-n-roll favorite with more modern chord progressions. Uses nicely done harmonies and
has the melody going back and forth between trumpet and the alto with the bone, or bari, playing a neat counter-melody. A slow buckle polishing tempo for that slow dance everyone asks for. Alto, tenor
(can be dropped), bari or bone, trumpet, and rhythm.

Bossa
Ballad
|
An original Bossa arrangement. Very laid-back with a section for solos. Stan Getz would've loved this one.
(Ed: At least we think he
would have liked it. He was a difficult man to
figure out.) For
alto, tenor, trumpet, bone (if needed), and rhythm. |

Brasil
(Brazil)
|
Latin/Samba! I love this arrangement. When you play it everyone wants to dance to the rhythm. The piano part has the traditional
Latin rhythm and of course chord progressions so that your
very own piano professional can play it like they want. The horn parts are outstanding! (My
humble personal opinion. of course.) SAMPLE |
