Orchestral miniature

This is an orchestral miniature I wrote recently. I've been wanting to improve my 'grooviness' and orchestral writing overall, and this is one of the results.

Hope you like it, and please, share your thoughts or comments! 🙂

(please forgive the still very messy score, it needs some cleaning up)

Nice.  Sounds like "Syncopated Clock" meets Harlem.  What sounds are you using?  This is waaaaayyyy to short.  This could easily be five minutes longs@

I love the swing rythm and the orchestration. Not so easy to hear compositions of the style in this forum. Congratulations! 🙂

Thank you for the comment! Never heard of that song, listening to it right now. I understand your association 😉

The sounds are Noteperformer in Finale. I've been thinking about expanding it, so thanks for the suggestion!

Hi Dirk!  I like how you use small chamber groups of instruments at a time.  You save the tutti for the exclamations to your phrases which is very effective.
