NOTES TO THE CONDUCTOR Don t Stop Believin is one o the rok and Journey s iggest hits rom the 1980s It s ig-time rok and roll rom the driving piano intro through the ull-ore ensemle setions to the inal poer hits that end the hart ut, there s more to it than just playing loud This hart is ull o ontrasts Beginning ith the simple yet oreul intro, the irst horn entrane is sored or solo alto sax ut it is also ued in the other alto and tenors, presenting the option o having a soloist play that melody, or one alto and one tenor, or the entire setion, depending on the strengths o your students The same also applies or the tromone melody the seond time through at measure 9 Measure 18, in the original Journey reording, onsist o an ensemle dynami uild hih is highlighted y the solo guitar playing the part as ritten Hoever, a young guitarist might not yet e apale o suh tehnique The goal in this setion is to reate a guitar lurry o notes through these measures, ulminating in the third o the hord on the last hal note in measure 25, or something approximating that onept I you have a guitarist in your and, this is a Rok n Roll moment Be reative ith something that ill ill this setion and uild up to the to eight notes on eat 4 o measure 25 I your ensemle does not have a guitarist, the horn setion lines ill that void and should resendo and uild the tension up to those eighth notes in 25 This hart is also unusual in that the drums don t play (exept or measure 25) until measure 32 o the piee I the and needs a lik to steady the tempo, try a hi-hat on eats 2 and 4 until the drums estalish a tempo pattern later in the hart At measure 26, the texture and dynamis go rom ull ensemle to only piano/ass and trumpet soloist (or trumpet setion) This should e emphasized to the and or a signiiant ontrast As ith the melody at measure 9, the trumpet melody may e played y a soloist or the entire setion or hatever omination est suits your group One the drums enter in measure 32, it s rok and roll all the ay to the end diret the drummer to maintain the groove It s really important or the rhythm setion to ALL lok in together on the eighth-note pulse This pulse is hat orms the oundation or the horn setion igures Another ontrast lies in the phrasing in the horn setion While the melody should e phrased in legato, the rass igures (eg measures 53, 61) should e heavily aented and punhy Any eighth note igure ending on an upeat should e played short and aented I you have a guitarist, measure 80 is another opportunity or a ig rok solo eature Play up the guitar solo and play the hart out! Trumpets may taet i you have a strong guitarist to arry this setion I your group does not have a guitarist, the melody is handled y the trumpets Measure 90 provides a solo opportunity or the lead alto sax The melody notes are ritten out, ut the hord hanges are also inluded or improvisation The drum solo at measure 106 ould e extended or opened up ith the last to notes on ue or the ensemle Rok On!
