Autumn Dusk

hi all,

so, I was screwing around with chord inversions, and I came up with a neat little progression, almost by accident. so, I wrote a melody over it, and here we are

it follows AABA form, and it is a 32 bar form. the head should be played, then the solos, over the same form, but to keep it concise, I just made the solos 8 bars, and repeated the same thing so that the score looked alright. then, I repeat the whole head again.

it is written for a rhythm section and 2 horns, but those horns could be whatever. I used an alto sax and a clarinet, largely because I felt that that combo isn't used enough

anyhow, here it is : Autumn Dusk. tell me what you think!

OOOOO! I LIKE IT! OUR BAND LOVES THIS KIND OF STUFF. YOU CAN'T BEAT JAZZ!

That was nice. I like it.

Wow, that was pretty good. the 'B' section kind of reminded me of Steely Dan...
...I had fun playing along with this piece, nice work!

Nice, could use a bit of variation here and there, but a bit of improv will sort that out, very nice!

yea, it would. sadly, I was getting kind of lazy, so I did a lame 8 bar alto solo which I repeated. that would be where someone would go for it over the 32 bar form though.

thanks all for the positive feedback!

i like it!

like you said this is a kind of song that could be adapted to different instrumentations (i'd prefer trumpet and sax or something, seeing that im not a clarinet fan)...

cool. that's fine.. I am... seeing as I play one, but I also think that the timbre of the clarinet and the sax go well together

thanks for the feedback though!
