Freddie Hubbard

Little Sunflower for String Orchestra, Piano and Drumset Freddie Hubbard

What a perfect introduction of jazz harmony to your middle school orchestra! This work is highlighted by improvisation for 1st violin and cello, with suggested solos written out in parts (with changes). Lots of syncopation (no swing) with reinforcement flows from a piano accompaniment and drum set part. All instruments are in first position with optional 8va on repeat for 1st violins.
