Moonlit Skies (Jazz Band Gr. 2)

Give your ensemble the classic Big Band sound of the 1930s and 1940s with this laid back swingin’ chart reminiscent of “I’m Beginning to See the Light.” Rhythms and brass ranges are appropriate for intermediate players. Two bass parts are provided, one being more accessible to newer players. Optional parts for flute, clarinet, horn, baritone horn, and euphonium are also provided to suit an expanded instrumentation. Two written solos are included, as well as chord symbols for players ready to improvise. This catchy tune will engage your players and listeners!
