While my primary focus is piano and voice, I appreciate well-crafted ensemble scores. Richard L. Saucedo's Grade 3 arrangement of Duke Ellington's 'Caravan' for concert band is skillfully orchestrated. The internal voicings and layering of the distinctive Latin and big band jazz textures are expertly handled. This score provides a rich, supporting texture throughout, making it valuable for understanding ensemble dynamics and arrangement techniques.
