Belwin Rest Ye Merry Samba
Traditional / arr. Paul Baker
Series: Young Jazz Ensemble
Category: Jazz Ensemble
Format: Conductor Score
Level: 2 (Medium Easy)
Based on the traditional "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen," this samba treatment cooks. After a short chorale intro, the samba rhythm kicks in either cut time or bright-four groove. Written-out solos are provided for alto 1 and trombone 2 but cued for trombone 1 plus a drum and/or percussion solo. A nice shout chorus and optional auxiliary percussion part complete this excellent arrangement.
"A memorable addition to any holiday program, the piece is sure to be a favorite of audiences and performers alike."
