Blue Shades - 25th Anniversary Edition Frank Ticheli

Alternative Artikelnummer: MBM1036

Absolutely fascinating! The composer has created a work that combines his love of jazz and the blues with his own contemporary style. Although there is a strong allusion to the blues and a jazz feeling is prevalent, this is not a literal 'Blues' piece. Blues harmonies, rhythms and melodic idioms do pervade the work, and many 'shades of blue' are heard, from bright and dark to dirty and hot. It's a demanding work that will require strong players in every section of the band.
