Info

After the end of World War II, the United States exercised a strong influence on Europe. In the realm of music, jazz music set the tone. Great big bands like those of Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington and Count Basie performed impressively. Soon European bands of remarkable quality emerged out of this development. It were primarily the light music and dance orchestras of German radio stations such as Kurt Edelhagen in Cologne or Erwin Lehn, that were especially successful.
In addition to that there were the so-called combos: “Louis Armstrong and the Hot Seven”, the “Benny Goodman Sextet” and the splendid Lionel Hampton who were true kings of jazz – the “Kings of Swing” so to speak. This “Solo for Percussion” is dedicated to Lionel Hampton.

 



BASIC SOUND
From S to XXL – Music for any band instrumentation


"Basic Sound" is a series by RUNDEL Music Publications offering an attractive and diversified repertoire to bands at grade 2 or 3 level, of sizes S to XXL. "Basic Sound" allows for performances by groups with limited instrumentation. Minimun requirements are clearly bracketed in the score.

The smallest size (S) of "Basic Sound" is based on the following instruments:
one (1) flute, two (2) clarinets, one (1) alto-saxophone, two (2) trumpets, one (1) trombone, one (1) baritone/euphonium, one (1) tuba and percussion.
Each edition also includes a full set of parts (XXL). That way the conductor can adjust the pieces of the "Basic Sound" series to his band's instrumentation.
