By Charlie Parker. By Charlie Parker. Arranged by David Heywood. Jazz. Score and parts. 63 pages. David Heywood #5203399. Published by David Heywood (A0.910422).Donna Lee by legendary jazz saxophonist Charlie Parker falls in to the category of a contrafact,
or the recycling of an older tune using a new melody with the same chord changes.
In this case, Parker used an old tune from 1917 called "Indiana", or "Back Home Again in Indiana",
improvised a new melody over it, and the rest is history. This medium-up tempo swing arrangement
features flute quartet (Four C Flutes) and rhythm section, and uses a paraphrase of the original
tune in combination with Parker’s melody in the head and a canon with the same melody in the head
out. All instruments get the opportunity to solo, and there is a flute soli section after blowing
that pays homage to another contrafact done on the same tune by Horace Silver. Not an
easy chart, but well worth the effort!
