What Child Is This? (Greensleeves)

A big introduction reminiscent of Holst perhaps, gives way to this fast waltz that features your soprano sax player. Optional trumpet/flugelhorn solo changes are also included. After a key change, the saxes introduce an invention of sorts, brass are added, then the soprano takes the melody out into a vamp that rages with the rhythm section, giving way to an open drum solo. The introduction figure returns and closes the door on this high energy treatment of Greensleeves. You could play this tune any time of the year and it will definitely knock the audience's socks off! The Trumpet 1 range is to a written high E.
