Performance Notes

  • Feel & time | lock heavy swing at Crotchet =109; drummer sets kicks crisply, never rush the back-beat.
  • Melodic hand-offs | treat the tune as a relay, saxes bones trumpets strings; phrase like a vocalist.
  • Brass vs. strings | keep string pads forward enough to warm the texture; dont let brass wash them out on tuttis.
  • Percussion colour | glockenspiel/timpani punctuate climaxes, place them like spotlights, not constant layers.
  • Shaping | clear dynamic terracing; leave air before shout figures; broaden rit. into the close for the trademark finish.
