    Rhapsody in Blue
    By George Gershwin / arr. Gordon Goodwin
    Item: 00-33370
    Series: Gordon Goodwin Series
    Category: Jazz Ensemble
    Format: Conductor Score & Parts
    Level: 6 (Professional / Very Advanced)
    This is a tour-de-force, GRAMMY® Award-winning arrangement by Gordon Goodwin of Gershwin's masterpiece. The sax doubles call for piccolo (alto 1), clarinet/flute (alto 2) and bass clarinet (bari). The second alto part has the well-known clarinet solo. This chart has it all---the thematic material, swing, key changes, solo space for alto, tenor, bari, trumpet, and trombone; and lead trumpet range is to written high F. The percussion part calls for mallets and timpani. Overall, a grasp of both jazz and classical concepts will make this chart stand apart from anything else. As recorded by the Big Phat Band. (2:20)

      @yami yeager Yeah, they played that set twice, one after the other, (evident when the 1st trumpet passes out at one point,) and the 1st was a bit cleaner. That was the year they won a competition at Berklee. I'm a member this year, and unfortunately it's taken a turn for the worse what with our school switching schedules to a non jazz friendly one as it were. Still good tho.

      @asphosunderscore2281 Před 4 lety +4

      The beginning drum run at 2:18 sounds similar to the drum run in Mario Kart 8's Title theme. A call and response technique is used here, played by trumpets and responded by the saxes. This is rather common in many of Nintendo's OST. Also, the major key also helps it stay light and airy, like Nintendo's OST. But then again, that is just my take...

      @@brandonm7952 bari is kinda rough to write for. as a bari player and arranger, this is really evident; it's the lowest member of the sax family so a lot of times when altos and tenors are playing a melody, it's too high for the bari to play. bari fills the role of a 5th trombone quite a bit, as it blends well (especially in the mid-low register) with bones, especially when there isn't a bass bone present (unlike this piece.) it's just an awkward instrument to write for a lot of the time

    Had to play the clarinet part on Soprano sax, then swap to my alto… this song was insane to play… felt like musical pit band all over again

    My band director gave us this music during the summer and we've been working on it since for our spring concert, its not that we don't know the notes its just with all the tempo changes and key changes and stuff that makes it so hard
