Composed by Grant Horsley. Contest,Festival,Film/TV,Holiday,Jazz,Wedding. 41 pages. Grant Horsley #993998. Published by Grant Horsley (A0.1411739).Scored for 2 B flat Trumpets, Horn in F, 2 Trombones and Tuba, Weekend in Paris is a bright jazz waltz intended to convey the excitement and anticipation of a trip to Paris. The music is to bring to mind pleasure in sightseeing, wandering around cafe's, seeing children at play, people dancing and laughing and families gathering in a happy relaxed atmosphere in the glorious sunshine.
The piece is in concert F major establishing the bright swingy rhythm, this then flows into the second section which is more lyrical and legato and is in E flat major. A short bridge section follows keeping the motif's heard in the first section but exploring the lower registers and remains largely legato. The first two sections are then heard again before a modulation takes place to give the piece a final lift before the end. The piece concludes quietly with a snippet of the opening motif.
I have set it to intermediate level but the whole score is on the youtube link for you to assess suitability.
The music would be a great addition to any repertoire as a happy piece, programmatic with a world/travelling theme in mind.
Full score 16 pages-parts 4 pages each. 4 mins 15 in length.
Price is for score and all parts.
NB Versions for Flute choir (4 C flutes, Alto and Bass Flute) and Flute Ensemble of 6 C Flutes are also available as is a Clarinet Choir version.
