Product Description

Stride, The: from Rhapsody In Blue- for big band/jazz ensemble arranged by John Hoesly. Based on a theme from Rhapsody In Blue by George Gershwin. Rhapsody In Blue is considered an American musical masterpiece.  Written by George Gershwin in 1924, right from its opening notes it conjures up The Jazz Age, The American Scene, New York City, and as Gershwin himself described, "national pep".  This is known as the Stride theme because of its resembling a typical stride piano accompaniment so prominent in the era.  Here, it is presented as a stand-alone tune.  It is written with a trumpet solo, but the solo can be played by any member of the band.  Difficulty level is intermediate and certainly playable by most high school jazz ensembles.
