n Land of Make Believe—Chuck Mangione/arr.
Mike Story. Chuck Mangione's hit Land of Make-
Believe is 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 for 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 and be a huge success!
