(Level V) An epic and demanding chart, but is also very musically satisfying to play. Employs lots of contemporary composition devices, including pattern phasing, inside-outside harmonies, challenging rhythms, out-of-tempo playing, and free-form soloing. Not for the timid or conservative, it's a chart that will expand the conceptual horizons of your ensemble. 10 Brass
