With its medium tempo and relaxed harmonic rhythm, this composition is an excellent alternative to the obligatory ballad during a combo recital. Arranged for soprano sax, trumpet, trombone and rhythm section with solo changes in all the parts.

The First Noel, by A. Patrick Rose

(Level IV) The contemporary pop setting for this Christmas traditional will guarantee an original sound for any program. A dominant, yet subtle groove is constant throughout the piece and the voicings get progressively larger culminating in a huge sound during the last chorus. This all-male arrangement is on the more difficult side, but the payoff is a crowd pleaser and will leave your audience humming to themselves long after the performance. TTBB A Cappella

In These Rooms, by Kevin Brunkhorst
(Level IV) In These Rooms is a lightly swinging moderate jazz waltz in the style of John Abercrombie or Pat Metheny and very relaxed and thoughtful in the vibe of the piece.  The introduction and solo section use densely scored simple melodic statements alternating with solo space for the lead guitarist.  The changes utilize shifting modes and suspended chords, with no ii-V-I.  Rhythms, except for occasional use of the ‘quartuplet’, are very simple. (five electric guitars, bass, and drums)

Excerpt from 'The Way Up', Part One, by Kevin Brunkhorst
(Leve IV) Excerpt from ‘The Way Up’, Part One is a guitar ensemble reading of the first theme (approximately the first six minutes) of Part One of The Pat Metheny Group’s 2005 epic ‘The Way Up’.  The lead guitar part takes on much of Pat’s role as melodic player and soloist, though guitars 2 and 3 sometimes play Pat’s overdubbed melodic parts.  There is a fairly long solo section with interesting modal changes, and everyone has strong roles in supporting and building around the soloist. Be careful not to let the ensemble build too quickly around the soloist!  This chart is good for students of the Metheny/Mays sound, and a favorite with audiences. (five electric guitars, electric bass, and drums)
