Vista
Andy says: "I wrote most of 'Vista' while on a summer vacation with my family near Banff Alberta, and I'm sure the breath-taking mountain scenery had an affect on the outcome. Overall I was going for a feeling of space or openness with this composition. The 6/8 feel with eighth notes grouped in two's is obviously African-influenced, and was in fact inspired by a piece from Mauritius that I happened to hear on the radio."
Other Features:
- Solo space for baritone sax and drums
- 6/8 feel and 3/4 feel

Red River Mud Pie
Andy Says: "The tune is essentially a long-form blues in F with a clapping 'breakdown' section followed by a more rock-oriented section in G for your guitar player to solo on before the melody is restated in a D.S. al fine. I’ll admit the feel on the guitar solo is closer to Magic Bus by “The Who” than a real Mississippi blues!"
Other features:
- Clapping parts for horns
- Easy trombone parts
- Strong bari sax part

A Kingdom's Last Hope Jr.
“A Kingdom’s Last Hope” a story telling tune. The first section is the pleading villagers, followed by a gallant hero called to action, and then to monster section and eventual heroic victory. See if you can hear the imagery. This grade 2 version is a simplified version of the original recorded by the “Composer’s Collective Big Band” designed for high school players.
Other features:
- Introduction to the 12/8 feel
- Some "classical" sections
- Improvising on the natural minor scale (provided)

Pete's Chune
“Pete’s Chune” is a Reggae chart dedicated to my high school teacher Pete Scherzinger. He told me one day that no one ever writes Reggae for big band. While now they do! This tune is a relaxed feel that’s somewhere between cut time and regular 4/4. The little melodies throughout should be played as if they were being sung.
Other features:
- Lots of unison in the horns
- Some "call and answer" parts
- Improvising for tenor sax on the Bb concert major scale

The Path
This original composition takes the band through a variety of grooves including gospel and funk. Some tricky rhythm section and horn lines, and the feel requires a more mature band. A strong lead trumpet is also required.
Other Features:
- Improvising for tenor sax
