Song for Daralene

Slow waltz that features the piano and alto saxophone. The alto solo begins at medium intensity and proceeds to a roaring level in a bluesy section that ends abruptly with a return to the sedate piano.In addition to the usual chord symbols, voicings are also given to aid the less experienced player. This is a great change of pace chart. These arrangements for saxophones and rhythm section, written for the Eastman School of Music's award winning jazz ensemble, Saxology, showcase the saxophone section in unique and interesting ways. Though originally written for saxophones most of the arrangements include optional horn parts (flügelhorn/trumpet and trombone) and work equally well with a mixed instrumentation.
