Big band - Medium to difficult

SKU: WA.55169

Composed by Chuck Dotas. Score and parts. Published by Walrus Music Publishing (WA.55169).

Disperse was commissioned by the Western Albemarle High School Big Band in Charlottesville, VA, and was written to introduce public school students to the language of composer/percussionist John Hollenbeck. The vibes, piano, guitar, and bass all utilize extensive written lines. The drum grooves modulate from a syncopated, funky feel to straight ahead swing, a smoother "house" beat, and a contemporary swing feel that features the drummer soloing over ensemble figures. All of the wind instruments have fairly contrapuntal, independent lines. Saxes: A/A/T/T/B; flute; five trumpets; four trombones, RS: vibes/p/g/b/d. Lead trumpet: written C. Solo changes available for alto sax, trumpet, and piano.
