By Charles Mingus. By Charles Mingus. Arranged by Lauren Pellant. Jazz. Score and Parts. 26 pages. Lauren Pellant #844123. Published by Lauren Pellant (A0.1249735).A fun arrangement of Charles Mingus' "Boogie Stop Shuffle" in the string-friendly key of D minor. The parts feature a reasonable tessitura for all players, although the suggested tempo and angularity of the main melody may present a challenge. Suggested bowings are also included.
Intended for string orchestra plus jazz drum set for added rhythmic drive, this chart requires a minimum of 4 violinists, 2 violists, 1 cellist, and 1 upright bassist (playing arco), although larger groups will better capture the spirit of the composition, particularly the rumbling boogie bass-line. All double-stops are meant to be played divisi.
The solo section is a 12-bar D minor blues- less experienced improvisers should be able to navigate using either the D minor pentatonic or D minor blues scale with ease, while more advanced players may desire to experiment with more colorful tensions.
