Sierra Music is pleased to present
yet another wonderful, contemporary composition by Patty Darling. She has provided us with many publications
ranging from our “Easy-to-Play” series to the “Radiohead Jazz Project”. This new piece from Patty is a slow swing in
3/4 with elements of sparsity and transcendence throughout along with an
abundance of solo space for flugelhorn that really intensifies this
sentiment. “Gratitude” is the perfect
contrasting piece for your program to add that element of variety every band
and audience needs. (5-4-4-4)
