Until Then, Farewell
Composed and Arranged by Ryan Cullen 

Level 4 (medium/difficult)

This ballad features the lead alto player and is the perfect chart for when it’s time to slow things down a bit.  The baritone sax is replaced by the clarinet and bass clarinet throughout, and reeds 2-4 have substantial doubles as well.  A brief waltz suddenly breaks up the slow tempo to let the rest of the band “show their stuff.”  Lead trumpet up to a written C#6 (IPN).  Lead trombone up to a written C5.  (86 total measures)

PRICE $19.95

Medium Rare
Composed and Arranged by Ryan Cullen 

Level 4 (medium/difficult)

A medium tempo, 12 bar blues with a New Orleans funk inspired groove. Occasional modern rhythmic/harmonic twists break up the traditional blues format allowing a comfortable stretch for the band and soloists. A great closer, the band and audience will love this one equally! Lead trumpet up to a written Eb6 (IPN). (255 total measures)
