Then sing
then play

always AABA!

perfnotes:
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:
structure: 2x A-B instr.

Then 2x A-B voice

End with 2x A-B

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: Section I = bars 1-8
Section II = bars 11-18
Section III = bars 19-22(end)
structure: Section I (not swung) -
Play
Sing (Optional)
Play
Section II - SLOW AND SWUNG
Section III -CUT TIME FAST

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:
structure: Play VERRRRY SLOW and soft (once or twice through).
Hold last note in a long decrescendo--
on top of that one soloist plays four bars fast, up through all is calm all is bright then ALL IN TOGETHER
Play through quick and loud 2X.
maybe a stinger

perfnotes: Section I = bars 5-18
Section II = bars 19-36
Section III = bars 37 to end
structure: Intro
Section I (all instr)
Section I (group vocal - see lyric)
Section I (all instr)
Section II (first 8 bars altosax only - then trumpets in)
Section II (trumpets lead)
Section III (KEY CHANGE!)

perfnotes:
structure: As written -
bass,bass+drums
A,B,C,D
A,B,C
D (first: no bass/drums, second, no drums, then all)
C D

perfnotes: Dynamics: 1 loud, 2 soft, 3 loud, 4 soft
structure: Drum Intro (not on chart)- hoofbeat:

3 measures (loud. soft. soft.) to stop

then 3 beats silent, horns lead in to section 1

Three Parts:
1 is the trumpet bridge (one time through first two times
second time ) - louder

2 is "love is a burning thing" - softer

3 is "I fell down" - louder

current idea is to have trombones play first,
then all saxes (soprano and clarinet should play tenor sax part not trumpet), then maybe all together, and ending trades of the phrase "the ring of fire", finally on unison

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

perfnotes: Play song at 140 bpm. Keep a good pace (don't drag), upbeat general tone
structure: As written; end on beat 4 of last measure

perfnotes: Swing left-then-right-then- left in time. vocals by Jennifer then Lynette. Jen put bullhorn higher when done, for Lynette
structure: intro / head, repeat alternating instr (4-bar melody splits) & vocals / signal "C" means to head last time (into coda/end after bar 6)

good bet:
bass, then plus vamp
"small solos" breaking up the melody into 3
vocal solo
all play melody
free solo
small solos
vocal solo
all play melody into coda

perfnotes: First play the traditional birthday song, normal/slow speed... can end like normal OR hold the SECOND TO LAST note for for four beats, then:

Tuba leads into Beatles Birthday section A. Play section A as instruments, then with vocals, then a third/final time as instruments. Ending is triple-tag by tuba/bass (other voices silent).


structure:

perfnotes:
structure: with an intro and outro called “hits”. the intro stacks (bass, add trombones, add woodwinds + trumpets, add trumpets higher).

1 is main melody OR solos
2 is trombone melody

alternate 1,2, so like 1 2 1 (solo) 2 1 end

perfnotes: * All woodwinds are doubled so clarinets (and soprano sax) play tenor sax part (not trumpet)
* The Dynamics in this one can be really SWELL (get it?)
* Part C Bar 9, 10, 11 has a critical drum part on beat *3* (LMB entertainingly had this as a virbaslap) - if you listen to the original ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djV11Xbc914 ) @ 1:05 you can hear it - the original doesn't overemphasize it but it can be really set a cool sounding pace

relative to LMB - I shared that B part that was Flute + Clarinet to Sax, put the trumpets + trombones back in for a backing part at D, and pretty much got rid of all of their part E (which was mostly duplicating themes done earlier in the song). but we are shamelessly stealing their novelty ending
structure: A intro meoldy
B lyric melody
C take-on-me chorus
D bridge
repeat A B C then jump to
E - solo x 4, then every one sings it one more time

perfnotes: Section I = Verse
Section II = Chorus

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

structure: (One example shown--leader can choose instr or vocal for each of sections I and II on the fly)

Section I: Vocal (if have vocal solist)
Section II: All Play
Section I: Saxes
Section II: All SING
Section I: Trumpets
Section II: All SING
Section II: " "

Start with 2001, last note held for 4 than a fall, than tuba/bass starts with Space Cadet bass... then main melody, then solos, then main melody again

perfnotes: Each time through section 2, start by crouching low and playing soft, then gradually get louder & stand taller

then melody twice - "BLUEY!"

(drums can join in and stay pretty steady w a Bo Diddley beat, picking up tempo from bass, and watching big breath to start bass part)

perfnotes:
structure: Opening: count 4 in, to brash all-horns intro

Ending: all hold 2nd to last note; leaders stops it, for brief gap; then bass line leadin notes to final max-volume blatt!-blatt! by all.

perfnotes:
structure:

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.
structure:

perfnotes: generally still and respectful (of the sacrifice that went in to the soup!)
structure: Lynette opens alone, Matt closes alone

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.

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.
