Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Contemporary - Difficult

Publisher: Toy Piano Publishing

Florian Ross's rendition of the Renaissance piece Salve Regina is a challenging interpretation that brings 16th-century polyphony into the big band world. Set at a tempo of quarter note = 144 with a flowing, creative even-eighths feel, the piece showcases the ability of modern jazz orchestras to step outside their usual setting. It features trumpet 2 and the full ensemble.

This chart is ideal for advanced collegiate jazz ensembles looking for a demanding piece that demonstrates the possibilities of a modern jazz orchestra with centuries of musical history at its back.
