sTO THE DIRECTOR

This even eighth fusion piece is built on the Phrygian mode. Accordingto myth, Orpheus himself taught music to King Midas. I hope yourgroup has “the golden touch” with this chart as well.

Horns should make sure to balance the melody and countermelody.The trombones and lower saxophones have the melody going intomeasure 25, then the trumpets have the melody at measure 26 (samein measures 48-52.) Be careful of the accents in the saxophones inmeasures 49-54, and keep it legato in measures 55-56. There’s a bigpoint of arrival in measure 60, leading into the solo section.

The solo section at measure 65 is open for any soloist, with solo sheetsprovided in all keys which includes a sample written solo and scalesthat can be used to encourage young players to create their own solo. I encourage soloists to explore improvising on the D Phrygian (concert)mode: D Eb F G A Bb C D (the notes of the Bb scale, but rooted on the3rd note, D.) This mode works for every chord in the solos, so no wrongnotes are possible. Listen carefully to the rhythm section and the background lines for the good “target” notes. The underlying sixteenthsturn up the heat for the solo section, which should build into the shoutchorus at measure 73. A strong solo statement from the drums sets upa return to the opening theme. Harmonic tension in the coda builds upto a bombastic finish.

For the rhythm section, there are several “plateaus” in this piece to beaware of: the opening subdued groove (measures 1-32), a stronger version (measures 33-65, peaking at measure 60), the sixteenth-notedrive of the solo section (drums may opt to switch from cross-stick tosnare for the second soloist) and the fireworks of measures 73-84.

SoloMate recordings are available at kendormusic.com for new Kendorand Doug Beach releases. This innovative resource lets students prac-tice their solos by downloading professionally-recorded rhythm sectionaccompaniment tracks. A full recording of this chart can be downloadedat www.kendormusic.com.
