SKU: A0.970720
Composed by Mike Strand. Concert,Jazz. 3 pages. Michael M. Strand #4830627. Published by Michael M. Strand (A0.970720).By Mike Strand, ASCAP
This is a lead sheet for a jazz combo or ensemble, a good basis for a variety of arrangements, improvisations, or contrafacts.
The audio sample is my melody from Finale PrintMusic, combined with an iReal Pro swing accompaniment.
I’ve designated the melody for solo violin, an instrument that I would like to see and hear more often in jazz ensembles. You will hear a violin carry the melody in the audio sample.
Playing the solo on violin solves a possible difficulty in performance.
Problem: This piece may be too challenging for many wind instrument players (brass, woodwind).
Solution: This piece is well suited to a non-wind instrument player! Violin springs to mind.
Violin is especially appropriate here: This tune has lots of notes; similar to a solo violin partita prelude or up-tempo dance movement by J. S. Bach. A wind instrument player told me that finding spots for taking a breath was a challenge.
This is not to discourage wind players from experimenting with the piece, adjusting it in places if necessary. A wind player may include more breathing spots for relief in his or her improvisation!
Note for composers: I adapted this piece from the 5th (swing) movement of my Partita II, for solo violin, also for sale on this site.
