Various: Touch of Christmas, Suite 2, A

Carroll DeCamp: Ballad for the Duke, A

Written to showcase your lead alto, this medium-easy ballad is a tribute to the legacy of the great Duke Ellington. All the solos are written out, including a strain for the piano in the Duke's own fashionable way.

Mike Pendowski: Salsa On The Side

This latin jazz piece in Bb starts with unison sax and bone licks and quickly opens up to the full ensemble. The head features alto, tenor, and trumpet who also share the changes in the solo section. Optional timbale, shaker, and cowbell parts are included.

Craig Biondi: Ocean Drive

A gentle bossa beat drives this medium-easy jazz samba throughout. The lead alto is featured both on written solo and jazz. Flugelhorns or trumpets in stands give this piece a smooth texture and excellent variety from the hard swingers on your concert program.

Henry Creamer and Turner Layton: After You?ve Gone

Check out this tasty setting of an old standard. It features an alto solo on the intro, then settles into a nice bossa groove. The solo section is double time for an added kick, with the bones playing the familiar melody in the background. Great writing!

Traditional: Jolly Old St. Nick

Listeners will enjoy the straight ahead ensemble blowing on this holiday standard. The head is heard first with alto and two trumpets, and passed around the ensemble so everyone gets into playing the lead line. This medium-easy swinger will keep your audience toe-tapping all the way home.

Rachel Steckler: Digger?s Bossa Nova

Written with flute and piccolo or optional alto sax, this chart has lots of optional percussion to drive the bossa style. Cuica, triangle, cowbell, and shaker can be added to build up the intensity. Changes are written for flute, trumpet, and trombone. Written in the famous Quincy Jones style, this chart really cooks!

Bryan Kidd: Caribbean Nocturne

Here's the perfect number to showcase the talents of your sax section, including a haunting melody played by your lead alto. The rhumba beat never sounded better with lush harmonies, muted trumpets, and all the latin percussion instruments you can put your hands on. Works very nicely as a change-of-pace work on your winter or spring concert.

Rob Grice: Festival on the Rivers

Here is an exciting new overture for the young concert band in the conventional A-B-A form. A dance-like main theme is scored in the woodwinds with a bright, driving brass and percussion accompaniment. A short alto saxophone solo highlights the lush B section before returning to the main theme and coda. Excellent for concert and festival.

Quincy C. Hilliard: Forbidden Caverns, The

A legend that describes the fate of an Indian princess comes to life in this new work by one of music education's best friends, Quincy C. Hilliard. Slightly contemporary in nature, the work features an extensive rubato alto sax solo. Dramatic and powerfully triadic, in the Hilliard tradition, this is an excellent work for most any programming situation.

Ervin Drake, Harry Lenk And Juan Tizol: Perdido

Grammy nominee Frank Mantooth offers this innovative arrangement of Perdido. The A section is presented as a half-time funk and the bridge as a double-time swing. Optional solos are written for alto 1, trumpet 4, and trombone 1. However, Frank provides the opportunity to open this further to anyone familiar with the changes. A fresh sound of a classic standard!

James Swearingen: In Quest of Uluru

The slow introduction splits the melody between the clarinets, alto sax, and flute. This builds into a full band statement scored in a very lush manner. A faster section moves between 4/4 and 2/4, creating a pulse that captivates the listener. The repetitive rhythms and solid scoring of James Swearingen make this an ideal festival or contest piece.

Quincy C. Hilliard: Shadows in Time

An alto sax cadenza opens this lyrical work. The simple, yet beautiful theme is introduced by solo trumpet. As the piece develops, everyone has a chance to play the melody. A final cadenza by the flute brings the work to a soft conclusion. Quincy provides some excellent opportunities for your percussionists to use unique instruments. A great change of pace for your concert.

Rick Marlow and Bobby Scott: A Taste of Honey (arr. Vuono) - Jazz Ensemble

Rick Marlow and Bobby Scott's A Taste of Honey was made famous by Herb Alpert. Rob Vuono puts his remarkable arranging skills to work in this jazz-waltz version. After an opening chorale in the bone section, the drums kick off the band as the piece builds gradually while changing key two times. Solo is in the alto sax (which includes a written solo as well).

Craig Biondi: Minor Interruption, A

From the author of last year's festival favorite, Otra Vez, here is a hot little latin number to warm up your concert crowd. The solo spots are written in the lead alto and 2nd trumpet part with lots of supporting backgrounds written into the other voices. Limited ranges make this an easy number to put together. The lead trumpet only needs a written G.
