Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Even Eighths - Difficult

Publisher: Toy Piano Publishing

Florian Ross’s Echo Chamber is a modern medium-up even eighths composition that focuses on stacked voicings and many homophonic a capella parts (quarter note = 160). It balances accessibility with sophisticated harmonic writing. Scored to feature Guitar (slightly overdriven) and trumpet 2, the piece combines clear melodic content with rhythm section parts that offer substantial interplay, and syncopation - ideal for developing ensemble precision and communication.

Echo Chamber is inspired by the thoughts we develop in our own little echo chamber. We often assume that our own truth is the truth. The reoccurring a capella section at the beginning of the tune represents this "one" way of seeing things - whenever it shows up, it is seemingly independent from what is going on around it.

This piece is best suited for advanced collegiate-level ensembles looking to explore modern even eighths Big Band language with tight ensemble demands and creative interpretive opportunities. Even Eighths, focus on orchestral sound.
