Description:
Of all the pieces Hank wrote for the Stan Kenton Orchestra, this is arguably the best one. This is recorded on the University of North Texas One O'Clock Lab Band 2005 CD. It is a melodious work, set in 5/4 throughout. There is a long, wonderful section for trumpet (or flugelhorn) solo. The middle baroque sounding contrapuntal section is a masterpiece. The trumpet range is very reasonable. 5-5-5-3 (can be played by only 8 brass)
