We Wish You a Merry ChristmaSamba (Herzog) [211.01]
Christmas. Jazz. Latin. After a brief introduction in 3/4 time, this creative arrangement of the popular holiday song is set in a Bossa Nova feel and then changes to a Samba. Melodic material passed from first trumpet, to horn, and trombone. Moderate range, some complex rhythmic challenges. Playable keys although the piece does finally move to Gb major (concert key). Layout of the notation makes this edition easy to read Optional flugelhorn part sub for horn. -pc
