perfnotes: 2nd bar sunrise sing "Hut...Hut...Hey!" if not playing the melody
structure: As written:
Intro-1-2-3-4-1mod-2mod-5

Intro: 4-bar ~vamp

1mod = Section 1 modified: high soloist featured 'response'; to 'call' of main low-brass voices SOFTER with shortened phrase-ending notes

2mod = Section 2 modified: low soloist featured 'response'; to 'call' of main high-brass voices SOFTER with shortened phrase-ending notes

Old descriptions:

This song has 2 melodies which I am arbitrarily calling sunrise and sunset

(and I am lumping in soprano / alto saxes with trumpet and tenor saxes with trombones and bari saxes with base)

1 - sunrise trombone
2 - sunrise trumpet
3 - sunset trumpet
4 - sunset trombone

For solos we go back to "sunrise", and the soloist can play off the melody call and response style. Ideally trumpets play call when it's a trombone solo and vice versa.

After solos, ending is pretty much everyone but basses play the first part of sunset and then "HEY!"


So arrangement has
High Parts:
C - Melodica
Bb - Trumpet (Clarinet, Soprano Sax)
Eb - Alto Sax

Mid Parts
C - Trombone
Bb - Tenor (Baritone TC)

Low Parts
C - Tuba
Eb - Bari Sax

How to Play it against Christmas Joy to the World in Eb:

Joy to the World (Christmas, then Jeremiah)
Play Christmas Version x 2 (not too slow)
Over last note, Leader Yells "1,2!"
and then bass/trombone do lead into measure 4
(i.e. skip measures of intro but do lead in, Eb E F)
insturmentals play 1 and 2
Singer starts in 1 "Jeremiah was a bull frog"
every one but bass sings 2 ("joy... to the world, all the boys and girls)
then everyone plays 1
then everyone sings 2, slowdown last joyyy to you aaaand meeeeeeeee

Section I: Vocal (if have vocal solist)
Section II: All Play

structure:

perfnotes: If playing it joined to the end of Jeremiah, start first bar of this chart immediately at end of last bar of Jeremiah (drumming/clicking through all four beats of last bar of Jeremiah) -- same pace for the two tunes
structure: As written -- usually we run through it twice -- generally we don't sing it

perfnotes:

perfnotes: stillness during solos (don't play over soloist); then through chorus move around chaotically faster & faster

structure: Better option:

8 beats tambourine

Next 8 beats add horsey drum and/or woodblock

Then instruments 1+2

Vocals 1+2
(First "jingle bells" regular second one "Batman")

Then instruments 1+2

One Option:

Play through 1+2
Everyone (but bass?) Sings 1+2
Play 1, Sing 2 (last measure half speed)

perfnotes: Intro: after slow, conducted opening,
bass drum starts beating 1,2,3,4,5 (shown as X notes)
and melody starts playing after mentally hearing "4 and one"


leader then can do call/response for solos

ending is "triple tag", like last 4 bars or so 3 times.

perfnotes: Ending note all tip over like a crumbling falling wall
structure: as conducted: tuba on part 1/ one horn section on part 1 / add in other section on part 1 / all on part 2 / solos alternating w/allonpart1/allonpart2/ all on part 1

perfnotes:
structure: Start: 2-3-4-1
Drums: shuffle

At end of each of the four main phrases, instead of long sustained note as written, cut that note off short (and freeze, see choreo below); drums get especially loud and splashy for the bar or two in the gap.

(In the gap after the third phrase be sure to let the tuba/bass voices do their descending line of notes alone)

Ending: All horns hold final note long (contrasting all other times)-- count it through, only slight decelerando, tuba descending notes to end.

perfnotes: During vamp lean left-then- right-then-left in time
structure: Leigh starts on Cowbell alone...

Ending (as written, on old sheet):
Section "3" repeats twice like always, followed by just drums continuing, then the chromatic run to end, and finally high instruments drop and bones/low voices hit low sustained note.

perfnotes: start count 3 4 1 2



Ending: hold last note through end of last bar and then all chant "CHA CHA CHA"
structure: A = 1 1 2 2 - instruments
B = 1 1 2 2 - vocals
Alternate A then B etc.

perfnotes:
structure: Start on Coda - bumpity bump bmp

Then sing
then play

always AABA!

perfnotes: This should be somewhat compatible w/ LMB version (see below) though omits a sax bridge. Also LMB start chanting w/ Dont be a drag, just be a queen which i dig - also I'd like us to consider ending singing a cappella - I think it might be very moving. (also we might have soloists on melody and then everyone join in?)
structure: This is just a trial version, with the 4 main melodies as unison for everyone but tuba and bari sax

"My mama told me when I was young"
"I'm beautiful in my way"
"Ooh there ain't no other way"
"Don't be a drag just be a queen"

Melody wise, Flute is for all C instruments, Trumpet for all Bb, Alto Sax for all Eb, Trombone for all bass clef.

perfnotes: During second part of each solo, take steps in time with underbeat, moving toward soloist; drop back at end of solo
