I arranged ‘Cantina Band‘ as part of my coursework for a module at Westminster University. An 8-piece Jazz ensemble came in and performed the piece after a really quick, one-time sight read of the piece, so inevitably there are a couple of mistakes in the performance. However, I was pretty happy with the arrangement overall, considering it was the first time that I had written anything for brass instruments, let alone a jazz band! 😛
For those of you that don’t know (shame on you! hehe), the piece is an arrangement of ‘Cantina Band’ written by John Williams and featured in Star Wars!!
And here’s that famous scene to bring back those fond memories… 🙂
