Tommy Dorsey

Hawaiian War Chant

A classic chart from the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, Hawaiian War Chant is a punchy swinger which features Tenor, Trumpet and Drums. We have written all of the original solos out in full, though your players can improvise from the chords provided if they wish. The reeds are scored for AATTB, with all players doubling Clarinet and the Bari doubling Alto. We have added Alto cue notes to the Baritone part in the Clarinet doubling passages, in case your Bari player is not a Clarinet player. The brass ranges are not too demanding, with the lead Trumpet only reaching top C and the lead Trombone going to A.
