Apollo 13 (End Credits) - Concert Band
Item number 8899009CC, $35.00

This is an easy arrangement of two of the main themes from the soundtrack of the hit motion picture, "Apollo 13". Although written for young players, you'll find that this arrangement captures the authentic quality of the film score.

Technical Notes: The oboe part is labeled "Oboe (Optional)". The French horn part is labeled "F Horn (Optional)". The bells part is labeled "Bells (Optional)". The percussion 1 part is labeled "Percussion 1 (Snare Drum, Bass Drum)". The percussion 2 part is labeled "Percussion 2 (Suspended Cymbal)".
 
The arranger has added the following note: "Any one or more of there instruments will provide an adequate bass line." These instruments are: B Flat bass clarinet, E Flat baritone saxophone, trombone/baritone B.C./bassoon, baritone TC, and tuba.
 
Teaching aids for the director: The 1st trumpet part in measures 3-6 should be played by a single player if possible, although additional players may be added for security if necessary. All trumpets should play beginning in measure 7. Careful attention to the percussion parts will add greatly to the overall effect. The bass drum should have no muffling and should always be allowed to ring freely. Brushes should be used on the snare drum from measures 11-57. If brushes are not available, lightweight sticks may be substituted playing near the edge of the drum head. The suspended cymbal is the be played with soft (preferably yarn) mallets. The bells should use medium plastic or acrylic mallets. At measure 57, the new tempo should be exactly half the previous tempo. The conductor might find it helpful to the players to beat measure 56 "in two" (i.e. as in cut-time) in order to prepare the band for the new tempo to come.

Composer(s): This piece was composed by James Horner.

Arranger(s): This piece was arranged by Johnnie Vinson.

Publisher: This piece was published by MCA Music Publishing.

Series: This piece is part of the series "Hal Leonard Discovery Band Series".

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.
