By Dmitri Shostakovich. Arranged by James Pybus. 30 pages. Published by James Pybus (H0.532871-SC001281089).The Suite for Jazz Orchestra No. 2 is a Suite by Dmitri Shostakovich. It was written in 1938for the newly-founded State Jazz Orchestra of Victor Knushevitsky, and waspremiered on 28 November 1938 in Moscow (Moscow Radio) by the State JazzOrchestra. The score was lost during World War II, but a piano score of thework was rediscovered in 1999 by Manashir Yakubov. Untilrecently, another eight-movement Suite by Shostakovich had been misidentifiedand recorded as the second Jazz Suite. This work is now correctly known as the Suitefor Variety Orchestra (post-1956), from which the Waltz No. 2 was madefamous by the soundtrack to Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut and which now seems irrevocably erroneouslyassociated with the Jazz Suite No. 2.
This arrangement for saxophones isplayable by either SATB or AATB quartet, with an optional Bass Saxophone partdoubling the Baritone. Duration is 3:47. Please contact me at james.pybus@rogers.com.
