| Aww. Twenty years ago as a learning exercise I did an arrangement for his "Jazz Suite for Flute and Piano" rearranged for Wind Quintet, the Flute part remaining unchanged. I still have parts of it lying around somewhere. It was fun picking out the multiple horizontal parts from the piano score; he had not written it as just a bunch of block piano chords. As I recall the most tricky part was assigning the lowest bass and piano notes to either the French Horn or the Bassoon, depending on which tonal color seemed best at that particular spot to make it idiomatically "Wind Quintet" rather than "Flute and Piano". It would be a complete Copyright violation to publish it anywhere I am sure. |
