  modal harmonies.

Coventry Carol

Jazz Ensemble Score & Parts

This special piece of music was composed in memory of my father, Dick Simmons, 1946 - 2023. An uplifting theme with a bridge utilizing "Giant Steps" changes will challenge your pianist and trombone soloists. This is a great composition to teach your big band to play the ensemble writing with the lightness of the great Ahmad Jamal.

A Father's Love

Jazz Ensemble

In 1937, composer Percy Grainger roamed the English countryside
  collecting folk songs and among them was the folk song
  "Lisbon".  This arrangement
  was commissioned and recorded by the Butler University Jazz Ensemble, this
  arrangement is a good vehicle for a talented trombonist. With lots of pro
  level lead trumpet playing and a modern modal conception, a university or pro
  band could shine on this chart.

Lisbon

This one is a great feature for your talented drummer! Learn the style of Benny Goodman's "Sing, Sing, Sing" and work your brass section's plungers for an exciting crowd pleaser. Tenor, trumpet, trombone, piano, vibes, or guitar can solo on this, and an open drum solo ramps up the energy for an exciting ending.

5 Trumpets in the Pocket

Trumpet Ensemble

This piece will be an excellent palate-cleanser between high energy pieces on a program.  It's inspired by Duke Ellington's slow latin pieces from his suites, and uses woodwind colors, a brass chorale section and dynamic climax.  Woodwinds are Alto 1/Flute, Alto 2/Clarinet, Tenor 1, Tenor 2/Clarinet, Bass Clarinet/Baritone Sax.

Vashti's Refusal

Here is a great minor blues that uses the five pitches of the minor pentatonic scale. After solos, your band can work a quiet unison section that leads to an exciting shout chorus. How many ideas can your students derive from one simple scale?

5 Points of the Compass

Here's an energetic shuffle with a twist! This features trumpet, tenor, guitar or piano as soloists, and has an exotic melody and subtle bridge section with short drum solo moments. Get those plunger mutes ready for the brass.

Trumpet range - A5

Trombone range - A4

Shuffling the Deck

This five-trumpet setting of the classic Irish hymn includes both modern compositional techniques, an improvisation section and modern jazz styles.  You'll need a lead trumpeter with a high E, and will enjoy the twists and turns that make up this special approach to a great melody.

Be Thou My Vision

Trumpet Quintet

This is a funky cha-cha chart that shows off your trumpet and alto sax soloists. Easy chord changes and optional written out solos are a plus for improvisation instruction. A subtle bridge section leads to an exciting shout chorus ending. Your students and audiences will love this piece.

Trumpet range  Eb5

Trombone range  Eb 4

Sassy Strut

This arrangement of Bach's beloved slow movement from the Orchestral
  Suite is perfect for your brass quintet's sacred occasion or concert.

Air on the G String

Brass Quintet

<p>If you need a high-energy Latin chart, consider this salsa/Caribbean-flavored tune that has optional marimba and steel drum! Commissioned by Nashville's Hume Fogg Magnet school in 2008, this is a welcome addition to my web store. With a written optional Eb in the lead trumpet and a solid salsa feel on the drum kit, this may demand a mature high school or young university group. Lots of fun rhythm section colors and minimalist horn writing techniques, with possibilities for soloists in alto 1, trumpet 2, trombone 2, or any rhythm section instrument.</p>

Catamaran

A subtle and colorful revisiting of the classic that is perfect for a
  contemplative moment in your worship service.

Amazing Grace

This up-tempo samba chart is based on the chord changes to Blue Bossa
  and gives your trumpet and tenor soloists room to blow. After solos, a horn
  breakdown leads into a powerful shout section.  An exciting closer or opener for concerts
  and festivals!
    
    
    
    Lead trumpet range - C6
    
    
    
    Lead trombone range - A4 (optional C5)

Blue Carnaval

Get this unique reharmonization of the Christmas standard to feature your baritone sax player.  This chart is a ride from a chorale intro, through the head in various sections, and then to subtle  contrapuntal ending.   This music will challenge the musicality of the entire ensemble.   Brass ranges are very doable; high C in trumpet, high A in trombone.

Silent Night

This legendary slow movement from Dvoraks Symphony from the New World
  becomes a bossa nova! Many optional soloist possibilities over easy diatonic
  chord changes. This was made possible through a commission by Lawrence
  Conservatory for the 2011 Jazz Celebration weekend.

Largo

A great showpiece for 5 trumpets in a medium fast bebop style. It gives
  room for multiple soloists and opportunities to show off a good lead player.
  Range tops out at a high Eb. This piece was composed for the MTSU trumpet
  choir in their appearance at the National Trumpet Competition. The soloists
  on the demo recording are MTSU senior Blaise Hearn, yours truly, and Greg
  Mayer, MTSU senior trumpet performance major.

Bebop Big Top

This forward-looking chart combines the minor blues with minimalist
  techniques and was commissioned for Eau Claire Memorial HS Jazz Ensemble I,
  Dominic Domeyer, director. Feature various instruments on solos, and enjoy
  easy to play contrapuntal material and Brookmeyer-inspired cluster voicings.

D Minor Happening

The distinctly contemplative nature of this arrangement will surprise listeners used to this children's song.  Use this selection to help prepare the hearts of your congregation for worship.  Check out the recording  "In the Garden  Hymns for Piano", with Arunesh Nadgir, Piano, on most streaming music platforms.
