perfnotes: Identify soloists for intro
Drums quiet for 1st call & response in verse
All quiet down in second response of verse
Come in big and bold in bridge
Outro- bass only

Parts
{intro}: 3 bar intro solo
{V} 8 bar vamp: 2 bass, 2 tenor, 2 all, 2 harmony
{1} 8 bar intro: all
{2} 12 bar verse: 2 call, 2 reply, 2 call, 2 reply, 4 all
{3} 8 bar bridge: 3 call, 1 reply, 3 call, 1 reply
{4} 8 bar chorus: 4 call, 2 reply, 2 all
{point soloist}: 8 bar solo, quiet backing part 1
{close fist}: 5 bar outro

People can sing the response in bridge if not "calling" and collectively we could sing the chorus with call and response.
structure: Intro
Vamp
1,2,3,4
1-solo,2,3,4
Outro

perfnotes:
structure: First X note is "HEY"
at end, "HEY", pause, drumbeat, pause, stinger

when back to one take the second ending

perfnotes: Intro stacked bass drum + tuba, bones, sax+trumpets, percussion

1, 2 parts should be played with a light staccato percussive feel with a driving rock beat

3 section lyrical bridge rhythm changes to flowing "3 clave" pattern. there is an option for a lyrical soprano saxophone solo over the top

4 quieter dynamics, staccato, driving rock beat with light percussion emphasis, crescendo to /loud three-note hits at end then enter 0 soft again

Outro repeats intro. last 4 bars bass drum tuba trombone only.


structure: Basic form:
0 1 2 3 4 0 1 2 Outro

Important!
Bass and drums start, trombone comes in. All play 0 and it's repeat.
Section 0 has 8 bars total, 4 bars repeated ( the left repeat bracket, at start, is not shown!) and the first time we play it is stacking: 2 bars tuba only, then 2 bars add bones, then 4 bars everybody! The second time we play 0 everybody plays whole thing all 8 bars.

Vocals can be done on 1, 2, and 4

0 Intro
1 "sweet dreams are made of these"
2 "some of them want to use U"
3 lyrical bridge
4 "hold your head up"

(Outro is same as 0 first time through, but unstacking)

We ignore the written repeats around sections 1-2-3!

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: 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:
structure: ("one time" here means the 4 bar phrase, even though that has 2 similar parts)
bass once
then melody twice - "MOM!"
bass once
then melody twice - "DAD!"
bass once
then melody twice - "BINGO!"
then bass once
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: As written -
bass,bass+drums
A,B,C,D
solo
A,B,C
D (first: no bass/drums, second, no drums, then all)
B C

For optional solo after part 4 first time, then part 1 comes in under solo halfway through

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

Soft for BOTH sections 2 and 4

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:
structure: so the form is always consistent 1234 but when it is time for a solo two is a solo three is vocal and then four is instrumental

perfnotes:
structure: vamp, 1, 2
vamp 1 (or solo) 2 or solo

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.

lyrics:

perfnotes: stillness during solos (don't play over soloist); then through chorus move around chaotically faster & faster
structure: solo then everybody through chorus (3X each one faster); repeat

perfnotes:
structure:

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:
structure:

perfnotes: during 8th-notes prior to and after chorus, point body right/down during first 8 (softer) then left/up during second 8 (louder)
structure: be careful, 8th-note phrase is ONCE before chorus,TWICE after it

perfnotes:
structure: Unison Start
After Vocal Solo,Horns come in 2 bars early

perfnotes:
structure:

perfnotes:
structure:

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: Play as written

perfnotes:
structure: This song is Also Sprach Zarathustra plus "Space Cadet" (our version of the melody from Moon Patrol as played on the Atari 2600)


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

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.
