Measuring Up Big Band - Sheet Music

SKU: WA.51031

Written just prior to the birth of his first child, MacDonald captures the anxiety and trepidation associated with "the pre-fatherhood jitters." His creepy melodic material and pensive harmonic settings are underpinned by the drum style of contemporary, underground, electronic dance music. Woodwinds required. Solos for guitar, soprano sax, tenor sax, and drum set. The lead trumpet goes to Eb above the staff. Here is a breakdown for the woodwinds: Reed 1: Soprano sax & flute; Reed 2: Alto sax & flute; Reed 3: Tenor sax & clarinet; Reed 4: Tenor sax & clarinet; Reed 5: Bari sax (throughout). 4.4.G.P.B.D. Selected as a finalist for the ArtEZ International Composition Contest in the Netherlands and premiered by the Millenium Jazz Orchestra.
