(Hazo) Concert Band (Score & Parts) - Grade 4-5
SKU: HL.4002326
Composed by Samuel R. Hazo. MusicWorks Grade 5. Jazz. Score and parts. Duration 240 seconds. Hal Leonard #4002326. Published by Hal Leonard (HL.4002326).UPC: 073999472349. 10.5x14.0x1.017 inches.
Best described as a jazz-flavored “barnburner” for wind symphony, Sam Hazo's exciting work pays homage to the innovative concepts of George Gerswhin and an appreciation for modern day jazz composer Gordon Goodwin. “Sevens” refers to the common jazz chord of the 7th as well as number of notes in the phrase, time signatures, etc. Strangely enough, both Gershwin and Goodwin share the same initials (G.G.), have 7 letters in their names, and the letter “G” is the 7th letter of the alphabet! Let it rip. (3:50).

Dynamic & Demanding Concert Piece
This Hazo piece is a high-energy addition to any concert band's repertoire. It's a Grade 4-5 'barnburner' that truly features the ensemble. While not a typical 'gig chart,' it's well-scored for a professional wind symphony performance. The jazz harmonic language, full of 7th chords and dynamic changes, provides an exciting and impressive showpiece. Be ready for a workout!

Masterful Orchestration & Harmonic Drive
As an ensemble coach, I appreciate the intricate 'voice-leading' within Hazo's 'Sevens.' The Grade 4-5 concert band score showcases masterful jazz harmony, with individual parts thoughtfully constructed to create a cohesive, dynamic texture. The piece effectively balances melodic lines with rich accompaniment, giving every section vital contributions. It's an excellent study in orchestral jazz writing.
