My Foolish HeartVictor Young/arr. Dave
Rivello. My Foolish Heart is a gorgeous ballad
feature for alto saxophone. This chart is lush
with beautiful textures but very accessible to the
medium grade level. Lead trumpet range is to
written A above the staff, and everything is written
out for the alto sax soloist with changes provided
for some improvisation or ornamentation. A nice
modulation leads to a more improv-like section for
the soloist and a piano solo break leads to a full
band feature section. Highly recommended!

n Over the RainbowHarold Arlen/arr. Alan
Baylock. Do you have two trumpet players to
showcase? Here is a ballad everybody knows,
scored as a trumpet duet feature. Everything is
written, no improvised solos, the lead trumpet
range is to C above the staff and the second part
is to written A. Lyrical and melodic, this chart is
a sure-fire crowd pleaser impeccably arranged by
Alan Baylock! Optional expanded instrumentation.

H
SkylarkHoagy Carmichael/arr. Dave Wolpe.
You won't find a better ballad feature for your tenor
sax soloist! The ensemble writing is wonderful, too.

Carmichael tune. Highly recommended!

Softly, As in a Morning SunriseSigmund
Romberg/arr. Mark Taylor. From the rarely
remembered 1928 operetta "The New Moon,"
this lovely tune has gone on to become a standard
favored by many jazz artists. Set in a light samba
groove, here is a terrific arrangement featuring
solo alto saxophone throughout. The solo is
beautifully contrasted with ensemble interludes
and backgrounds, plus a short unison tutti feature.

H
Summer Never EndsBill Liston. Wow, here's
a funk ballad that features your trombone soloist
with a completely notated solo along with provided
changes. The solo part floats over the band and
remains legato against the band's funk grooves.
An optional, extended improvisation section for the
trombone soloist is included. If you're looking for
something different for a solo feature... this is it!

That Sunday That Summer (If I Had to Choose)
arr. Mark Taylor. This wonderful tune from the
early 60s has become a standard recorded by
countless artists over the years, most notably Nat
King Cole. This setting as a solo feature for alto
saxophone is in a smooth and lush ballad style, with
a brief interlude in double time. Additional features
include nice scoring and effective melodic lines for
the entire ensemble.

True NorthMike Dana. This is a captivating,
contemporary even-eighth note ballad in the ECM
tradition. Your lead alto player can really shine
during this tuneful original for advancing groups. The
composer highly recommends using the wordless
optional vocal part to enhance the sensitivity and
warmth of the piece. Ranges and rhythms are very
accessible, but the rhythm section's interpretation
must be solid and nuanced. This is truly a beautiful
work that belongs in every library!

H When I Fall in LoveVictor Young/arr. Craig
Skeffington. Show off the sensitive side of your
band with this ensemble ballad with no featured
soloist. There is a brief 4-bar written trumpet
melody. Otherwise, it's all ensemble blend with
a lush texture, a double-time section and lead
trumpet range to written G on top of the staff. The
drummer plays with brushes and sticks, the band
emotes and everybody sounds great! Optional
parts for flute, horn in F, baritone horn and tuba are
included. You'll fall in love with this excellent chart!

classic 12/8, bluesy and soulful treatment of this
great standard! Everything is written out for the
alto player and it has chord changes if preferred.

for yourself. It's one of the quintessential features
for alto saxophone! Highly recommended! Optional
expanded instrumentation.

You're Still a Young Manarr. Paul Murtha.
One of the signature ballads from the renowned
horn band Tower of Power, this tune includes the
famous trumpet solo introduction that is one of
those magical moments that trumpet players dream

on this soulful ballad that also includes a suggested
or improvised solo for tenor sax.

n Bayou FarewellGraham Breedlove. Bayou
Farewell is an original, melancholy, Pat Metheny
style ballad with straight eighth notes and a
beautiful melody. Graham Breedlove's use of color
is superb in this solo feature for soprano saxophone
(an alternate alto saxophone solo part is included).
The use of flugelhorns will also enhance the color
characteristics. Solo space is provided for soprano
sax, trumpet 2, and guitar followed by a soaring
ensemble shout section. The lead trumpet range is
to a written high C. Unique and memorable!

n Close to HomeLyle Mays/arr. Bob Curnow.
Here is a deeply emotional, gorgeous ballad from
the self-titled album Lyle Mays. It begins with a
written piano solo and moves into a lush ensemble
setting. There is a short, improvised Tenor solo
before the full band begins to build to a strong
apex. The arrangement then closes with a pensive,
quiet piano solo ending. Woodwind doubles include
two flutes, clarinet and bass clarinet. For five saxes/
woodwinds, five trumpets, five trombones, and
rhythm section.
