As the title implies, this composition is an exciting ride at the speed of a horse in full stride. Using a wide range of instrumental colors and with rhythmic intensity throughout, the journey is a smooth one for the most part, with only a few dark tunnels fraught with impending peril along the way. Dynamic and entertaining. Dur: 4:35 Recorded by the combined St. Olaf Concert Band and Minnesota Symphonic Winds - Timothy Mahr, conductor NOTE: An online perusal score is not yet posted for this title.

It’s Awf’ly Nice Just Walkin’ With You is a beautiful ballad from the trusted pen of Rob Vuono, Jr., showcasing your lead tenor as well as the entire band. A wistful melody strolls across a lovely chord progression at a leisurely pace, as varied tone colors of velvety bucket-muted brass and lushly harmonized sax solis brilliantly combine to give this chart all of the hallmarks of a classic standard. A warm tenor sax solo (written solo provided) is featured after the first presentation of the song, with easy-going backgrounds adding subtle support. The brass mutes are removed momentarily as the chart progresses to a shout chorus that builds smoothly to its zenith, and then decisively leads to a coda that features effective linear writing between each section of the ensemble. Sure to be a favorite with the band and audience alike, add It’s Awf’ly Nice Just Walkin’ With You to your next concert or contest!
