Jazz Rondo

This delightful jazz offering from Paul Douglas will be a fun and entertaining work for your next concert. It is grounded by a pedal bass line while the rhythm is driven by a Ring/staccato/rest/Ring pattern – and variations thereof that will keep toes tapping throughout. The director may select the preferred stopped techniques. There are nicely-placed shakes, marts, and LV passages plus an engaging melody line featured in the higher bells which will live on after the piece ends. There are a few expressive dynamics included and it is swung throughout with no tempo changes. There are ample accidentals to keep ringers alert as they swing their way to the fun and dynamic ending!  This is a must-have for your moderately accomplished group.
