Joe Loss

Fascination

Here is a very lush and sweet arrangement of Fascination Waltz, as recorded by the Joe Loss Orchestra. The saxes are Miller voiced throughout, scored for CAATT (with the first Tenor also doubling Clarinet) and are written to sound an octave above the brass in the ensemble passages, adding brilliance to the tonality of the chart. The arrangement is mostly ensemble writing, though has an easy 8 measure Piano solo which is a simple and very effective contrast to the richness of the rest of the chart. Trumpet ranges are moderate, with 1, 2 & 3 to A, though the Trombones briefly push high, with lead to B and 2nd to A.

Trumpets 1-4: Ab5, Ab5, Ab5, B4
Trombones 1-4: B4, A4, G4, D#4
