ULLA IN AFRICA. 8 How to Play Lead Trombone in a Big Band

Transcription

1 ULLA IN ARICA The opening hymn-tune (ars 1 5) is very eautiul and sonorous It demands a good, lended sound rom each memer o the section as well as a connected, legato articulation and the aility to move rom note to note with good ensemle Make sure the release in ar (second hal o eat ) is uniied so the trumpet pick-ups into ar 5 are heard In any type o chorale, listen to the lead voice or phrasing and style The ottom voices should provide a supportive cushion or the entire and This tune demands a keen sense o sixteenth-note su-division throughout Bars is a section soli, just tromones and rhythm section Make sure the last sixteenth o eat 1 is short and that the eighth-notes on eat 3 are legato, always leading to the next downeat This section demands some independence rom the ass tromonist as he/she plays y themselves on the second hal o eat in ars 10, 1, and 1 Play that with conidence! The tromone soli at letter C needs good rhythmic staility as a section Listen to the way the lead player interprets the tenuto markings and try not to let the sixteenth rests reak the low o the musical line In the ensemle tuttis at letters E and G, each voice can play a little soter ecause these are largely unison passages When the line reaks into harmony (the ends o ars 51 and 53, or example) play a it stronger Watch the key changes at letters I and J In this rass section tutti, make sure to get o all the tied notes in a timely manner Keep the energy level going during the hal notes in ar 10 8

6 DU, DU, LIEGST MIR IM HERZEN This entire chart is a study in playing ast rhythmic igures in a Latin eel It s important to eel comortale and conident with these igures so they can ecome part o your rhythmic vocaulary, regardless o tempo The ackground igures in ars are a good example o these challenging rhythms At letter A, the tromones are asked to play with cup mute When playing with mutes, rememer the pitch o the instrument sharpens a it I there is time, pull the tuning slide out slightly when playing with a mute, rememering to push the slide ack to its original position when playing on the open horn Dierent rands o mutes produce dierent timres I possile, the section should try to use the same type o mute to ensure a compatile sound The reath marks or releases in ars 35, 36, 39, and 0 are written so the ensemle ends notes together One way to uniy these releases is to think o each whole note as a dotted hal note ollowed y a quarter rest This coordinates and codiies the arranger s desire to put some space etween the notes The entrance at ar 90 should e a loud, enveloping sound (not necessarily a penetrating type o loud sound) The quarter notes in this passage (ars 95, 96, 103, and 10) should e played long, with a singing approach This applies to the eat quarter notes ound at letters I and K, as well The tutti syncopations ound in ars can e very challenging These rhythms tend to e rushed Try to e very steady without crowding the time Rememer the notes in ars 19, 131, and 13 enter ater strong eats 6
