Salish (Salish Suite, mvt I)

Jazz Band

Grade 3.5

Megan Vinther's "Salish" is the opening movement of her larger work, "Salish Suite." A love song to the Salish Sea in Washington state, "Salish" is a sentimental tribute to Vinther's family and her late father. A lively 3/4 groove accompanies a simple yet profound melody and lush, ethereal pads of chords create a shimmering backdrop throughout. Solos are offered for Tenor 1, Trumpet 2, and Trombone 1. While the rhythmic scheme of the piece is straightforward for most high school groups, the instrument ranges (particularly in lead trumpet and lead trombone) are more advanced.
