Description
Wally Minko stated that he really loved Rich Willey’s tune Little Treasures, and his arrangement of it sorta proves that. Wally took this 6/8 tune and made it into a journey of a thousand miles that begins with a single step.
There is solo space for alto saxophone and trumpet.
Written for five saxophones, five trumpets (the fifth solo trumpet part may be played on trumpet or flugelhorn), four trombones, piano, guitar, bass, drums and optional percussion.
The lead and second trumpet parts go up to a four leger-line and one space F (with a G and an optional A♭ above that in the lead part). This tune is Grade 6, no doubt about it. Chart length is 207 written bars, tempo is ♩. = 70 | ♪ = 210 and the score is 26 pages.
Our big band charts only come one way, and that is as follows:
• parts are 9″ x 12″ (folded and/or taped) printed on 80 lb. text stock
• scores are 11″ x 17″ on 24 lb. stock comb-bound with 10 ml mylar front sheet and 15-pt. black vinyl back.
