About this arrangement

Vibraphone Solo - Digital Download SKU: A0.1024006 Composed by Ron Levy. 20th Century,Contemporary,Jazz. Individual part. 13 pages. Thinkling Music #5744929. Published by Thinkling Music (A0.1024006). Five Pieces For Vibraphone Solo was premiered December 1, 2014 by Jonathan Kipp at the Hoson House in Tustin, California. It is a set of "enigma" pieces - each movement having hidden references to its source material. It might be fun to hold off on providing the listener with notes until after the performance.1. "Blue Afro" references Mongo Santamaria’s Afro Blue, from which it borrows only the West Afican 12/8 "atsia*" groove. It is freely composed.Movements 2-4 are loosely based on established jazz standards. The titles offer clues as to their sources, which are not immediately obvious upon listening. It is preferred not to "give away" the sources to audience members until after they have heard the piece.2. "Salt" is based on Rodgers and Hart's The Lady Is A Tramp (S.A.L.T. is a kind of mixed up anagram: the Lady iS A Tramp)3. "Spacewalk" follows the chord changes of the standard Stella by Starlight by Victor Young.4. "Will o’ the Wisp". The title plays on Willow Weep for Me by Ann Ronell, on whose chord changes the movement is based.5. "Epilogue". The only member of the set not inspired by jazz; the epilogue seems with its processional quality to be an apt way to close the set.*Atsia is a West African music/dance rhythm in 12/8 time – often referred in jazz settings as "afro-cuban 6/8" This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
