Description

Go Inside The Score for rehearsal tips, rhythm section suggestions, solo ideas, and more advice from the composer. Check it out here.

(from the Kendor web site): This is a captivating, contemporary even-eighth note ballad in the ECM tradition. Your 1st Alto player can really shine during this tuneful original for advancing groups. The composer highly recommends using the wordless optional vocal part to enhance the sensitivity and warmth of the piece. Ranges and rhythms are very accessible, but the rhythm section’s interpretation must be solid and nuanced. This is truly a beautiful work that belongs in every library! A guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson is included in each set.

(and from Mike): This is still one of my favorite pieces. Definitely playable by a solid middle school band…and, I’ve heard several college bands include this in their program, because it’s super melodic, has such a unique vibe, and comes together quickly. Check out the Inside The Score link! And, the SoloMate practice track is great!
