Julius Hemphill : Composer

Big Band

August 2, 2018 by Editor

32-measure score for big band found in Music Manuscript Notebook 4 (MMN4).  The orchestration, which indicates doubling on many woodwind parts, is for flute, alto saxophone (+clarinet), alto (+tenor) saxophone, tenor saxophone (+soprano and flute), baritone saxophone (+ clarinet), bass clarinet (+tenor saxophone and piccolo or three trumpets), French horn, trombone, tuba, cello, bass, and two percussion parts.

From Marty Ehrlich: I have not encountered any record of a performance of this work. It may have been read or performed by the Black Artists’ Group Big Band in St. Louis. Julius also titled this work “B2,” as in “‘B’ used twice,” yet another of his wordplays.
