These are probably the last of my big band scores. If your band play any of them and have recordings, I could use them for short soundbites. Mostly normal big band line-up. All this music is free...but a donation to a charity, like Global Tree Planting Project would be appreciated.   Click on Download and then left click on the one you want on the new page.    Scroll down and click on Save linked content as...Alternatively you can print them straight off.   Sorry, all the soundbites are done by computer software rather than live performances. Some of the instrument sounds are awful and I can't fathom out how to do a convincing drum part so I've kept it very basic. My apologies. The soundbites will sound better when using headphones anyway.  To refresh the page, click on Scored Changes logo (above, left) or press ctrl+F5

Line-up: 2 Altos, 2 Tenors, Baritone, 4 Tpts, 4 Tbns, 3-4 rhythm section. Tbn2 solos. A pun on sexual relations. Difficult split ensemble passage - will need some rehearsing.

I want to give some publicity to what Russian forces are doing in Syria, not just in Ukraine - the bastards! Here is a snippet of the tune.

That's it - no more big band arrangements. If you've downloaded and played any of them, thank you so much. I admit they are not world-shattering charts, but I hope they are playable and that you have enjoyed playing them. That's what really matters.
