Jazz Ensemble Jazz Ensemble - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.970734 Composed by Mike Strand. Concert,Jazz. Score and parts. 3 pages. Michael M. Strand #4855465. Published by Michael M. Strand (A0.970734). By Mike Strand, ASCAP This is a lead sheet for a swing ballad with chord symbols and guitar fret boards, for a jazz ensemble, small to large and a solo instrument. It is the foundation for a variety of arrangements, improvisations, and contra facts. The audio sample is an iReal Pro jazz swing ballad accompaniment, combined with my tune in Finale PrintMusic -- a jazz quartet arrangement.At 76 quarter notes per minute, it runs about 2 minutes, 13 seconds with only one repetition of the first 16 bars, followed by the 8-bar ending (40 bars in all). You may want more repetitions in a performance with instrumentalists playing contrafacts or improvisations against the first 16-bars, then closing with the 8-bar ending. The spare, appealing melody is supported by a relatively complex but beautiful harmonic progression. I wrote this ballad after a long wait for a loved one to undergo a 6-hour surgery at St. Mary's Hospital in Richmond, Virginia. It expresses my initial optimism, changing to worry and dread. Finally I feel tired, relieved and happy when I am allowed to visit the loved one, who is safe and awake in the recovery room.
