Vocalist + Septet
★ The instrumentation for Vocalist + Septet charts is Trumpet, Alto Saxophone, Tenor Saxophone, Trombone, Piano/Guitar, Bass, Drums and Male Vocalist. These were arranged for a specific vocalist in a comfortable baritone/tenor vocalist key. Each arrangement has a horn backing for the melody at the beginning and the end plus an ensemble soli section in the middle to break up the soloist sections. All of these arrangements have been played and edited and are road-tested and gig-proven. Some of these had alternate parts written for different ensembles, but all are playable by the basic septet listed above.
★ All arrangements from Boptism Music come as a PDF file that you’ll be able to download immediately upon submission of your order.
★ Digital downloads are nonrefundable, nonreturnable and nonexchangeable.
