El Tango
The Tango is a well known and recognizable style of music that originated in Argentina in the mid 19th century. El Tango is a fresh and creative example of this style, as the music gives the effect of building intensity from beginning to end. Lots of imaginative and “tasty” percussion parts add to the effect. A fun, “surprise” ending brings this enjoyable and stylistic work to a close. This is a wonderful change of pace for any concert or festival performance!SKU: AL33848 -

El Tigre
Here’s a super Latin chart for your first-year players. A driving rhythm keeps the energy going top to bottom on this Carl Strommen original. The piano sets things up in the intro, and the cowbell builds it from there. Layers of simple straight-eighth note patterns build right into the solo section. This easy-to-play chart features written alto and trumpet solos with ensemble backgrounds, very reasonable brass ranges (trumpet and trombone to D), and a simple piano interlude with the drummer. If you want a fun Latin tune that just about plays itself, then try EL TIGRE!SKU: ALJEM00038 -

El Toro
Each year in July in the city of Pamplona, Spain, hundreds of people participate in the running of the bulls, which precedes the daily bullfights during the Fiesta de San Fermin. “El Toro” (The Bull) is an exciting piece with a Spanish flair that has moments of harmonic tension and drama with strong melodies and countermelodies. An exciting way to explore 3/4 time, tension-and-release, and hemiolas, students can imagine the adrenaline of the run and the celebrations of the fiesta as they perform this tune. ¡Olé!

Eleanor Rigby
Commissioned by the US Army Jazz Ambassadors, this arrangement by Eric Richards shines new light on the beauty and depth of the classic Beatles hit. An up-tempo Brazilian groove gives way to hints of samba and songo, but always with a smooth and laid back feel. Piano solo is featured off the top, followed by a trio of tenor, trombone and guitar on the head, and later solo space for one or more of these players. A brief nod to the classical feel of the original Beatles track helps build to a climactic shout for the full ensemble. Nice!SKU: HL7011995 -
