The Rise and Fall of a Short Fugue was written for and recorded by the Stan Kenton Orchestra on the CD “Stan Kenton Plays Chicago” on the Creative World label. Stan wanted something he could conduct and shape in different moods. Check out the audio track! Featured solos are for alto saxophone (with flute opt.) and free sections to be conducted as you wish. This one is really fun to prepare and perform. I think you’ll find that this fresh take on big band writing to be a kick! Composed by Bob Curnow. Advanced. 5-5-5-3 w/flute doubles
