Easy swing, funk, and crisp rhythmic character meet in Lowell E. Shaw's Tripperies, Volume 1 for three horns. The four pieces, Nos. 1-4, are marked Easy Swing, Funky, Marcato, and Fast. That range of directions gives a trio contrasting approaches to pulse and articulation rather than four pieces with the same musical personality.
For rehearsal, the changing styles offer useful opportunities to compare relaxed swing with a more pointed attack, agree on note lengths, and keep accompanying figures as purposeful as the melody. Three horns supply the entire ensemble; there is no piano part to provide a separate harmonic or rhythmic foundation. The collection can serve as a studio ensemble project or a selection of lighter pieces within a recital.
The Hornists' Nest edition HN53 includes score and parts. This listing is for the horn version; compatible bass-clef transpositions are available separately.
Add trombone or bassoon players to your ensemble with the Tripperies Vol. 1 Mix and Match Set.
