Samba do Mar - (Level III) Composed for and premiered
by the 2010 International Trombone Festival Jazz Choir, members ages 20 to 80.
A samba in D minor, playable by as few as four performers or as a larger choir.
Everyone gets a piece of the melody at some point. Lead part rises only to G
above the staff. The provided drum set part is optional. Solo space is provided
for the top two chairs; but the chart performs wonderfully even if no one
solos, as the stop-times and riffs make for excellent passages on their own. It
can easily be opened up for additional soloists, including non-trombone guests.
Works as an opener or closer. The dominant rhythm in this piece is the
authentic Brazilian “partido alto” style. This “Samba of the
Sea” is dedicated to my wife, Mary, who has brought such happiness and
inspiration to my life.
