Falling of Seasons
Music of Sally Greenaway
This advanced level chart is a modern through-composed jazz work in two parts: the start is atmospheric and features lush orchestration with the saxophones doubling on flutes and clarinets; the second section is fast-paced with an ostinato bass line and has a quasi middle-eastern flavour.

Instrumentation: Big Band (with doublings): 2 Alto Saxes (doubling Flutes), 2 Tenor Saxes (doubling Clarinets), Baritone Sax (doubling Bass Clarinet), 4 Bb Trumpets (Trumpets 1 and 2 doubling on Flugelhorns) , 3 Tenor Trombones, Bass Trombone, Rhythm Section (Piano, Guitar, Bass, Drums). The solo passage features Alto Saxophone. Double Bass part is difficult (heavily notated ostinato-based lines).
