Edition: JAZZ BIG BAND ARRANGEMENT

Description: BALLAD - MEDIUM DIFFICULT Astor Piazzolla's music lends itself well to the big band idiom, and Fred Sturm is a masterful arranger for big band. As recorded on 'Libertango! Hommage to Astor Piazzolla,' this chart is a beautifully sensitive setting of a gorgeous ballad. There are different solo parts (Eb, Bb, C) for you to use in choosing your soloist. It is a solo feature throughout the chart. Sturm's orchestration and the climactic passage will tear your heart out, it is so intensely beautiful. This requires 4 clarinets and bass clarinet in the sax section with very easy-to-play parts. The brilliant scoring of Sturm creates a must have chart for every band's library. 5/4/4/5 (opt. vibes/bells)
