Spice up your repertoire with hip-hop! The initial riff-based melody is augmented with pyramid figures from the rest of the ensemble. The coiled energy that is built up in this first section of the tune is released into the kinetic motion of the B section. This leads to an extended tenor sax solo that will really allow your soloist to stretch out. A stop time low brass feature follows, which leads back into the head of the tune, where the ensemble can ride it out to the end.

A great new chart of Freddie Hubbards’ great Blues For Miles that really cooks! Freddie describes this tune as Hip Hop Funk on the original CD also entitled Blues for Miles. Mike’s solid arrangement starts out with the trumpets introducing the very funky unison melody followed by a stop time chorus for the saxes. Solos follow for the soloists of your choice on slightly altered Bb blues changes and then an exciting rock flavored shout chorus takes us back to the head. Includes an optional flute part. An outstanding choice for almost any performance opportunity that your students will really enjoy playing.

Resolute was composed to celebrate the enduring spirit of those who persevere and overcome difficult challenges with fearless determination. Set in G major, this triumphant theme features a strong, accented melody and energetic accompaniments that frequently utilize double-stops for a resounding effect. The shadows of hardship are heard in a brief shift to E minor before the victorious melody returns with joy that defies darkness with courageous hope. The same way we support each other through trials, many melodies and countermelodies are doubled between sections to portray strength and resolve.Resolute was premiered by the East River High School Orchestra in May of 2022 under the direction of Mr. Scott Friedberg in honor of the orchestra’s 4-year anniversary, and dedicated to the courageous students who continued to make music through the pandemic, demonstrating determination and tenacity in their passionate pursuit of musical excellence.
