solos for tenor sax and trumpet, and the lead trumpet
range goes to a top line F with optional G on top of
the staff. This chart will also sound great with optional

A Child Is Born—Thad Jones/arr. John Denton.

the beauty and integrity of the original. Written or
ad lib solos are for alto sax and trumpet. Gorgeous

key down a whole-step, and has carefully adapted
the ranges, with the highest trumpet note being an
A above the staff. What a treat for developing bands!

Aria—Rick Lawn.
As the title suggests, this is a beautiful melodic feature for alto sax. In addition to the
haunting tune, there are subtle supportive ensemble gures that weave a rich fabric of
accompaniment and include ugelhorns and cup mutes in the trumpet section. e
improvised solo needs only two scales - concert D harmonic minor and E-at major. An
ensemble chorus follows the solo section and leads to a cadenza before a slower, more
dramatic close. A great opportunity to feature your alto player!
