OYE COMO VA (Santana, 1971) - for pep band, basketball band, jazz combo, small jazz ensemble

Digital Sheet Music

By Santana, Tito Puente

Item Number: H0.188577-634885

_______________________

Perfect for 60-second time-outs at Basketball games, this 54-second arrangement contains the essence of the classic "Oye Como Va." Repeat the main section and add solos if you wish to make it longer for other performance venues or types of ensemble.

The highly-flexible "BcP-Flex" scoring* imitates the classic rock band sound by using only 4 "instruments/voices" - lead, rhythm, bass, and drums:

Lead: Flute, Clarinets, Alto Sax (flex-option), Trumpets

Rhythm: Alto Sax (flex-option), Tenor Sax, Horn, Trombone, TC Baritone

Bass: Electric Bass/Tuba, Bari Sax

Drums: No drum set part is written as it is often easier to get the drummer to "pick-up" the tune by listening to the chart.

Parts are formatted to fit in a flip-folder, but print on letter-sized paper if you prefer to use 3-ring binders.

Easy keys with multiple courtesy accidentals and well-marked rehearsal numbers reduce the amount of time needed in rehearsal and improve performance.
