Hello
I've been invited to compose a tune for my university's big band next year. This is what I have so far... it's based on a piece I wrote for a friend years ago at college (she was called Ellie, funnily enough).
It's a silly fun swing piece. The standard of the players is fairly good for a university band, but nevertheless I've tried to keep this as easy to play as possible. I play the trumpet so I know about that, but I'm not sure about what is difficult for other instruments.
So two main things I'd like from you:
1. General thoughts on the piece
2. Whether there are any parts which would be difficult for a particular instrument.
Thanks!! If the big band manager & MD like it then it'll be included in our setlist for our annual show in the bloomsbury theatre
