Blue Mist

Blue Mist is a “six note” piece playable with just Flute, Clarinet, Alto Saxophone, Trumpet and Trombone. The trombone part is slightly different from the low winds and euphonium to avoid sixth position C. The work is in C minor, but the concert  Ab is never utilized. If it helps, you can therefore have your students think in the key of Bb! If you are short on percussionists and you have timpani available, omit the bell part first. Adaptable Parts for the trio version are also included, but be aware the ranges will be far beyond a Grade .5 for each instrument. I did keep all three parts below the break for the clarinet and bass clarinet.
