Take your band on a voyage to the great beyond of space with "A Solar Journey". This latest work from renowned film and television composer John Cacavas utilizes themes that suggest the excitement of space travel. Like a true sci-fi thriller, the piece uses harmonic triads spaced by the tritone, creating a feeling of mystery. The piece modulates from minor to major with a triumphant and glorious theme signaling the end of a successful journey through outer space. "A Solar Journey" is guaranteed NOT to leave your band lost in space!

Estimated Performance Time: 5:15

Technical Notes: The percussion part is labeled "Percussion (Snare Drum, Bass Drum, Crash Cymbals, Suspended Cymbal)".

Item number 8899721CC, $55.00

Believe it or not, this Benny Goodman classic has never been available for standard big band instrumentation. The original contains solo clarinet and less than a full complement of brass. Arranger Mike Lewis has adapted this classic tune for 5 saxes, 4 trumpets, 4 trombones and a rhythm section. There is nothing new here, but now it is available for all standard big bands. This will be a welcome addition to any jazz library.
