Land of Make Believe—Chuck Mangione/arr.
Mike Story. Now available for younger players!
Opening with the melody doubled by alto sax and
trumpet in a dramatic, slow tempo, the chart then
breaks into the familiar melody, style and tempo.
Plus, there's a drum solo instead of the improvised
trumpet solo, making it even more accessible to
young players. The ranges are very easy, and
the rhythms are slightly tricky but will lock in with
repetition. A superb chart that will really come
together for a huge success!
