Viridian by Kim Richmond Big Band - Sheet Music

SKU: WA.50441

The bass line pattern provides the foundation for this Latin flavored piece, perhaps evoking images (with its exotic melodic line, featuring cup-muted trumpets against woodwinds) of "South Seas" locales. The title is the term for a shade of green. The half-time and double-time do not signal a change in feel, which stays basically the same throughout. At some spots, the drums changes to more of a march-like beat, hopefully with a syncopated jazz approach. Solos: Trb 2 (cued for alto sax, tenor sax); guitar (cued for tpt 3) 2 sets of Woodwind parts: Version 1 (preferred version): 1.-alto sax/clarinet/flute; 2.-alto sax/clarinet; 3.-tenor sax/clarinet. 4.-tenor sax/clarinet 5.-baritone sax/bass clarinet. Version 2 is saxophones only. Tpt mutes are strongly suggested to accomplish the proper sound of the piece (tpt 1: cup and Harmon; tpt 2: cup; tpt 3: cup and straight; tpt 4: cup and straight). Trbs need no mutes.
