Description
Weekend in Paris is a bright jazz waltz intended to convey the excitement and anticipation of a trip to Paris.
The music is to bring to mind pleasure in sightseeing, wandering around cafe’s, seeing children at play, people dancing and laughing and families gathering in a happy relaxed atmosphere in the glorious sunshine. The piece is in concert F major establishing the bright swingy rhythm, this then flows into the second section which is more lyrical and legato and is in E flat major.
A short bridge section follows keeping the motif’s heard in the first section but exploring the lower registers and remains largely legato. The first two sections are then heard again before a modulation takes place to give the piece a final lift before the end. The piece concludes quietly with a snippet of the opening motif. I have set it to intermediate level but the whole score is on the youtube link for you to assess suitability.
The music would be a great addition to any repertoire as a happy piece, programmatic with a world/travelling theme in mind.
Full score 13 pages-parts 4 pages. 4 mins 30 in length. Price is for the full score and all parts.
NB Versions for Flute and Clarinet Duet, 6 C flutes, Flute Choir, Clarinet Choir and Brass Sextet are also available.
