NOTES TO THE CONDCTOR Duke Ellington omosed as art o his extended ork Blak, Bron, and Beige. Sine that time, it has eome one o Ellington s most enduring iees, reorded y musiians ranging rom Mahalia Jakson to the World Saxohone Quartet, and rom Clark Terry to Johnny Mathis. The song s oularity seems to stem rom its gosel-tinged melody and the religious imliations o the lyris. The main deining harateristi o this ne arrangement is the ontemorary rhythmi setting, ith an ostinato-like rhythm setion groove (omosite o iano, ass, and drum igures), and drums layed ith mallets rather than stiks. Otherise, I have reserved the integrity o Ellington s original melody and harmony. One exetion is the vi-iv- III-I adene used at the end o the A setions, hih is my on touh. Here are some rehearsal notes and suggestions to hel you get the most out o your and: Take time to ork out the individual rhythm setion arts, and then ut them together. Identiy ho lays ith hom, and hen. The drummer should e using sot mallets throughout the iee (marima mallets overed ith yarn not xylohone mallets ith exosed ruer heads). The slurs in the trumets irst hrase are not atual slurs they re hrase marks. So, enourage your trumet layers to use legato tonguing through this and similar hrases. This alies to the tromones and saxohones, too, hen similar notation ours in their arts. Note that the eighth notes are to e layed evenly not in a sing style. ous on holding the temo steady. Youthul tendeny is to ush the temo. Enourage your ind layers to lay gently and ith a eautiul tone. Trumet layers may use lugelhorns throughout, in hih ase, they should not lay into stand hen indiated. When trumets use harmon mutes at m. 41, the stems should e out. I no harmons are availale, sustitute straight or u mutes at your disretion. The overall eeling o the erormane should e slo, arm, and a it sultry. I your tenor and tromone soloists ant to try imrovising their solos (hih I d strongly enourage!), the B major entatoni sale is an exellent melodi resoure that ill get them through these solos. Note the saxohones yramid igure in m. 2. Have un!
