Edition: Jazz Studio Orchestra Arrangement

Description: Latin/Bossa - Medium Difficult

Publisher: Walrus Music Publishing

I composed this chart for a 7-piece group with optional string section and an optional second guitar.
Since moving from L.A. to the Northwest I walk for miles through the forests on my property. The rain
and the mist join and mingle through the tall trees creating a mystical landscape. When the rays of
Sunlight shoot long beams through the forest and mist the eect makes me just stop and take in its
wonder and beauty. I tried to capture that mood by featuring muted trumpet and tenor sax with
a cool support of rhythm section and a warm lush string section.
The tempo is marked an easy 109 BPM and should be played in a relaxed straight-eighth, but jazzy
feel. I denitely think of this as Latin jazz meets bossa. Everything is notated and there is room for solos
not only from the trumpet and tenor but also the whole group. If you have a string section the whole
scope of the piece becomes richer and even more expressive. The drums and percussion have key rolls
to play and room to add feel and quiet, steady drive and ow. This chart is fairly easy but allows room for
Pros and advanced players to stretch and enjoy.It demands focus and musicality. It is a good one for
getting into a feel and creating mood. Lost in the Forest Light tells a story of being sweep up in the
amazing light and atmosphere of the Northwest. It is a fusion of both now and the past and the imagined
inner landscape.
The highest trumpet note is a written A above the sta. The piano part is both written out as well as having
chord symbols and open sections.
Starting out with the rhythm section and the optional strings bars 1-8 establishes the the light bossa feel.
On the repeat of this section the Trumpet plays the soulful melody After the repeat the trumpet continues
laying down the melody as the tenor enters with written lls forming a duet of Trumpet and Tenor at bar
19-36. At Bar 37 the piano takes the solo with occasional lls at the end of phrases.. Bar 40 has a solo break
for the trumpet and at 41-57 the trumpet solos. Bar 58 the tenor has a solo break leading to a tenor solo section
from bars 59-76. At 77-80 the trumpet and tenor trade two bar overlapping solos. Bar 81 has a tutti section
featuring the full group together with solo piano and drums inbetween the ensemble hits. At 89 the rhythm
section supports the piano solo. At 97 we return to the A section with the trumpet laying the melody down.
We continue with the recapitulation until the written vamp ending section which features solo interplay
between trumpet and tenor until the rall ending and hold.
