Composed by Phil Beaman. Concert,Jazz,Latin. Score and part. 8 pages. Phil Beaman #6497497. Published by Phil Beaman (A0.845249).Habanera Sunrise is a contemporary Latin Jazz solo that evokes the latent energy of a sunrise. The piano accompaniment is a pure milonga rhythm which is derived from tango and habanera. As one music scholar says "milonga is an excited habanera". The melody is influenced by the African rhythms of cinquillo and tresillo which are also at the core of habaneras. This fusion sets up cross-rhythms and a challenging polymetric feel within a brisk 5/8 time signature. The accompaniment is mostly 3+2, but the melody is constantly shifting between 2+3, or 3+2, or 5 equal.
Habanera Sunrise is for fun vibes, technique practice, rhythm challenges, and crowd-pleasing performances.
Solo part has a 2 octave range
marked Intermediate; notes are Early Intermediate, keeping the shifting 5/8 rhythm is Advanced Intermediate for some
