Bob Curnow has created an arrangement of Les Hooper's brilliant opening theme from a longer setting titled Dorian Blue. The chart is a trumpet solo throughout, offering an exceptional opportunity to feature your trumpet soloist. There is a slow, moving statement of the theme, a double-time improvised section, and a warm, beautiful ending. There are also piano solos, improvised and written. Woodwind doublings for flute, clarinet, and bass clarinet achieve a "movie theme" quality.
