Paul Jennings. Paul Jennings' masterful arrangement from 1982 has stood the test of time and sounds as fresh today as it did when it was written.

This is a "must-have" chart with pure excitement from beginning to end! 10049728 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . . . . . . . . 52.00 10049729 Additional Score. . . . . . . . . . . . . 9.00 PATRIOTIC SELECTIONS America, the Beautiful—Samuel A. Ward/arr. Chris Sharp. Here the patriotic classic is reimagined as an energetic shuffle. An a cappella sax soli chorale introduction gives way to a driving shuffle that continues for the remainder of the chart. Harmon-muted trumpets provide extra color in spots. The ranges and rhythmic responsibilities are moderate, and there's written or improvised solo space for tenor sax. This arrangement is appropriate for civic events, patriotic celebrations, or as an interesting change-up for festival or adjudication programs. This one is really nice! 10910610 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .M 65.00 Battle Hymn of the Republic—arr. Mike Kamuf. Wow!
