The
More I Seek My Solitude, the Less of it I Find
(from Tango Suite second. mvt.)
The
More I seek My Solitude, The Less Of It I Find,
is a beautiful, haunting melody, written over
a very common tango ostinato.
The
textures are very transparent and should blend
with the subtleties of the written drum
part. Its a tenor feature and a terrific
showcase for a very strong soloist.
The tune is designed to segue into Sabine’s
Dance.
Sabine’s Dance is a
very playful tune dancing over a rather simple
chord
progression. The drum part, which imitates
a particular hard leather soled shoe pattern
of the tango dancer, is intertwined with a very
intricate bass line.
The solos, written
for soprano and piano, could be passed to most
anyone in the band. The shout section
is a unison tour d’force that leads to an open
drum solo and back to the tune. The chart
is a very effective closer for any concert.
