Idylwild

Featuring a tuneful and aggressive melody played by alto sax, trumpet and guitar, Idylwild alternates between traditional swing and a modern funky hip-hop feel. Ample solo space for lead alto is followed by a powerful shout section and brief recapitulation. This is a fun chart that really lets your lead alto player show his/her stuff! This composition was commissioned by Ted Newtonand the Moreau Catholic High School Jazz Ensemble. No doubles are required of the saxophones. Top note for lead trumpet is a written high D, and top note for lead trombone is a written high G. 5/4/4/Vibes/P/B/D. Medium Difficult
