One Day Wonder #262

For 1 horn and 3 trombones.

I wanted to give the palindromes a break for the day, so I decided to write a somber little jazz number. Actually, it was barely a decision. Lately, I’ve been drawing a complete blank as to what I should write. I mean, I can think of nothing. What piece gets written is pretty much a game-time decision. In other words, when I’m at the Finale start screen, that’s when I figure out what to write. I thought the horn and trombones would blend well in this rather simple piece. They do, but that’s not what bothers me about it. Once again, form raises its ugly head. I’m not happy with this form, a basic AABA with a few optional extras. It makes this tune seem like it’s going on forever. The B section is a little too jarring and the end is a mess. But other than that… OK, I’ll just say it now: this is the worst piece I’ve written in a long time. Sorry about that!
