Blue Miles - Score

SKU: CL.SCM-1100-00

A great new chart of Freddie Hubbards’ great Blues For Miles that really cooks! Freddie describes this tune as Hip Hop Funk on the original CD also entitled Blues for Miles. Mike’s solid arrangement starts out with the trumpets introducing the very funky unison melody followed by a stop time chorus for the saxes. Solos follow for the soloists of your choice on slightly altered Bb blues changes and then an exciting rock flavored shout chorus takes us back to the head. Includes an optional flute part. An outstanding choice for almost any performance opportunity that your students will really enjoy playing.

This powerful work was written in the wake of the death of NYPD Sergeant Paul Tuozzolo, a hero whose last words and actions saved the life of his partner. His wife Lisa Tuozzolo, an avid speaker and supporter of her blue family, is also a close cousin of composer Brian Balmages. It was widely reported that over 20,000 first responders lined the streets to salute Tuozzolo one final time along the route from the funeral home to the church. This piece chronicles that unforgettable drive and pays homage to the many officers that fall in the Line of Duty each year.

When traveling through the desert southwest of the United States, you may be fortunate enough to come across a strange looking brown and white streaked bird called the Roadrunner. It has a blue patch of skin circling the eyes, a tiny dot of bright red behind the eyes, a bushy crest on the top of its head and a long tail that bobs up and down. A member of the cuckoo family, it is New Mexico's state bird, and can run in bursts of speed from between ten to twenty miles per hour. Because it is equipped to run rather than fly, its feet are different from other bird species, having two toes in front and two toes in the back. Its tracks looks like the letter X. Although roadrunners can become airborne, they are basically ground birds and do not fly. They eat insects, scorpions, small rodents, birds, lizards and snakes. They do make noise when in danger; however, the clicks and clatters do not resemble the sound of a honking horn that we think of from the Hollywood cartoon version of roadrunners. The repeated notes in the opening melody of Roadrunner Rally will remind you of the sight of a roadrunner traveling along at breakneck speed. A crisp spiccato accompanied by pizzicato in the cello and bass paints the picture of the bird running through the desert. At m. 17 you will hear that raucous honk, honk that is associated with the roadrunner saying Out of my way! The syncopation can easily be learned by feel as well as by counting carefully. At m. 25 and similar passages, the first violins will have fun learning the jazz licks. The walking bass like at m.69 with the jerky sound of the octaves in the upper strings will remind you of the awkward appearance of this ungainly bird. And of course, Roadrunner Rally ends with a loudly emphasized honking noise, the beep that we associate with the humorous picture of the roadrunner.

Wie kent niet de meeslepende en toch lieflijke melodie van Summertime? Oorspronkelijk is dit een aria voor mezzosopraan uit de beroemde opera Porgy and Bess (1935) van de Amerikaanse componist George Gershwin. Het personageClara zingt het lied voor haar baby, aan het begin van de opera. In de loop der decennia is Summertime ook een eigen leven gaan leiden. Talloze zangers, zangeressen en instrumentalisten hebben zich eraan gewaagd. Erzijn vele bewerkingen van gemaakt. Toshio Mashima schreef een magnifiek arrangement voor harmonieorkest dat garant staat voor succes bij uw volgende concert.

Summertime ist ein Wiegenlied aus dem ersten Akt der American Folk Opera“ Porgy und Bess von George Gershwin, die 1935 uraufgeführt wurde. Noch berühmter als die Oper wurde das Lied Summertime, das in vielen Stilen, aber vor allem von Jazzgrößen, wie z. B. Ella Fitzgerald und Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Miles Davis und vielen mehr interpretiert wurde. Dank Toshio Mashimas Blasorchesterbearbeitung kann sich Ihr Blasorchester elegant in diese illustre Liste einreihen!

Porgy and Bess a été écrit en 1935 par le compositeur américain George Gershwin (1898-1937). Cet opéra noir, dont l’action se situe dans le pittoresque quartier noir de Catfish Row, Charleston en Caroline du Sud, fait une large place au blues et au spiritual. Summertime est devenu l’air emblématique de cette œuvre ; un standard repris, par divers grands interprètes dont Barbara Hendricks et Ella Fitzgerald. Cette version pour Orchestre d’Harmonie est signée Toshio Mashima.
