Arr. Klaas Van Der Woude. Par PIAZZOLLA ASTOR. Expérimentateur de génie en rupture avec la tradition tanguera, virtuose du bandonéon, Astor Piazzolla (1921-1992) révolutionne le langage du tango en le dissociant de la danse.

Careful doubling of important parts makes sure MARCH OF THE NOBLES will be accessible to bands with sketchy instrumentation as well as complete ensembles. And, there are enough accidentals to keep the musicians’ skills m…

Par WILLIAMS JOHN. From the motion picture 1941, this is John Williams' tongue-in-cheek tribute to the big band era.

Featuring the sax section, a trumpet solo, and hot ensemble punches, it's just like having a mega jazz band on the field! / Date par…
