Luiz Bonfa

This familiar standard has been around for years and is creatively set here in a medium swing style by Paul Murtha. The trombone section is featured in the beginning and is followed by the trumpet section. Following a solo section for trumpet and tenor there is an effective key change and full ensemble shout chorus. Even though it is designed for young players experienced bands will sound great playing this as well!

'A Day in the Life of a Fool (Manha de Carnaval)' arranged by Terry White is a bossa nova groove---but not just any bossa---this one stands above the rest. Superb harmonies, nice voicings, a nice sax soli, written solos for alto and trumpet, a big shout chorus, and all very tasty throughout. This chart also includes a variety of optional parts plus flute, clarinet, and vibes. Tempo is 128 BPM. (4:00) / Ensemble De Jazz

Mandolin 2-Manhã De Carnaval is the title of the popular song by Brazilian composer Luiz Bonfá and lyricist Antônio Maria. Manhã De Carnaval appeared as a principal theme in the 1959 Portuguese-language film Orfeu Negro (Black Orpheus). Manhã De Carnaval became one of the first compositions identified with Bossa Nova to gain popularity outside Brazil. The title was particularly popular in the United States where the song is considered to be one of the most important Brazilian Jazz/Bossa songs that helped establishthe Bossa Nova movement in the late 1950s. Here it has been arranged for Mandolin Orchestra. This is the part for Mandolin 2.
