Variations For Baritone

Description

This dazzling solo work was written to display the virtuosic talent of Rich Matteson, perhaps the most uniquely gifted performer on baritone from the 1950s through the 1980s. Fusing elements of technical mastery and jazz idioms, the work is an absolute tour de force for an accomplished soloist. Transcribed for solo and piano from the concert band score, this appears for the first time in a stunning edition for use as a recital feature or concert showpiece. A very accessible concert band accompaniment complements the work and is available on rental.
