SKU: A0.1368317
By Kansas. By Kerry Livgren. Arranged by Jon Thingvall. Pop,Rock. 45 pages. Jon Thingvall #952661. Published by Jon Thingvall (A0.1368317).Seeking a modern setting for a French Horn solo? Is the community--or are the students--feeling that classical music is stuffy? Got a budding Guitar Hero with nowhere to play? Want to give the orchestra a break, without stopping the program completely? Need a relaxed, quasi-Adagio for the concert's pacing?
This is a record-copy of KANSAS' classic rock ballad, scored for a fairly small ensemble. Most instruments can be substituted: Flute for Alto Flute, Viola or Cello for Violin, Flugelhorn for the Horn part, or 4 Trombone parts instead of 3 with Solo Horn.
Acoustic Guitar (will need amp). (Part copied verbatim from the official video, with thanks to Kansas - Dust In The Wind Guitar Lesson Pt.1 - Intro & Verse (youtube.com))
French Horn solo-- Steve Walsh's epic, almost-apocalyptic style seemed perfectly suited to the mystique of the French Horn. (Measure 102 is “as though spoken” like in the recording here: https://youtu.be/tH2w6Oxx0kQ?t=126. If the audience isn't familiar with Steve's style, it may be better left as a quarter- or eighth-note (written F sharp), but if you've got a Hornist with the chops, I’ve tried to put the articulations in to imitate a spoken voice.)
3 Trombones-- Mainly triadic pads, with two instances of 9ths in the upper bass clef.
1 Tenor Sax / Double on Alto Flute The Sax will sound great sotto voce to the Horn. The Flute should be as soft as possible, and ethereal.
Solo Violin (Could be sectional, instead of solo.)
Solo Cello (Ibid.)
The "official video" has bongos at the end, but I felt the sparse score worked well. They could easily be improvised, if needed.
