Anthropology by Claude Thornhill. Edited by Jeffrey Sultanof. Arranged by Gil Evans. For big band. Swing. Difficult. Full score and set of parts. Published by Jazz Lines Publications. JL.JLP-8123. Background. Before World War II, the Claude Thornhill Orchestra's popularity was as a 'sweet' band. With the integrated sound of clarinets, saxes, trumpets, French horns, trombones and rhythm section playing under the leader's virtuosic piano solos, and the arrangements of the leader, Gil Evans and some others, the band made some beautiful recordings and was fairly successful. After a short stint in the Navy, Thornhill laid low for awhile until he put his band back together in 1946. This ensemble would become legendary as composer. arranger Gil Evans' personal workshop, as Thornhill virtually gave the band to him to do as he pleased. While Evans understood that this was still an ensemble that played popular music. and Evans certainly wrote his share of dreamy, lovely ballads and medleys. , he not only gave writing opportunities to Gerry Mulligan. whom Evans mentored after the saxophonist. arranger left Gene Krupa. and George Russell. who was starting to formulate what would be his Lydian Chromatic Concept. , but Evans explored the new world of modern jazz called 'bebop. ' The results were the legendary trilogy of settings for Anthropology, Donna Lee, and Yardbird Suite. Most of the Thornhill musicians had little experience playing the new music, so Evans taught it to them. Thornhill was not pleased by these pieces and they were not played when he was on the stand, although he recorded the first two titles a few times. Thornhill and Evans parted musical company in early 1948, and later that year, Mulligan, Russell, Johnny Mandel, John Carisi and John Lewis joined with Gil to create a smaller ensemble that would sound like the Thornhill band. Thus was born the Miles Davis Nonet. The Music. Anthropology was written by Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. Evans arranged the line in 1947, and it was recorded for Columbia Records and for radio transcriptions. The instrumentation calls for 5 saxophones doubling clarinet, 3 trumpets, 2 trombones, 2 French horns, tuba, guitar, piano, bass, and drums. For this publication, the French horn and tuba parts alternately may be played by a 4th trumpet and trombones 3 and 4 as follows. French horn 1 Trumpet 4 French horn 2 Trombone 3 Tuba Trombone 4 Conductors are strongly urged not to double these parts. if you have both French horns and Tuba, do not use the trumpet and trombone parts. As with Yardbird Suite, Evans notated swing rhythms as dotted-eighth & sixteenth, not two eighths. This figure has been changed in this publication to two eighths for ease of reading. Bars 129 to 141 were later extracted and re-orchestrated for what was probably an experiment by Evans to test out different ways of scoring these bars for the Miles Davis Nonet. Though the parts have the name Anthropology written at the top, the piece is not quoted directly. These bars were later used as a theme for the two extant broadcasts of the Nonet from the Royal Roost. Notes to the Conductor. The first time I heard this treatment of the Parker. Gillespie line, I laughed because Evans used one of the trademark colors of the Thornhill ensemble. clarinets, alto saxes and cup-muted trumpets. and applied it for a modern jazz theme. This would have been the last group of instruments that most arrangers would use on such a theme, but as Miles Davis said, "That's Gil for you. " This arrangement simply doesn't work when played slower than quarter note 200, so the altos, clarinets and trumpets not only have to practice their parts to play the music smoothly, but should practice together to get the best blend possible. As you know, unisons are often problematic when instrumental color and wide melodic contours are present, and are additionally challenging given that the clarinets are in the key of A, and the alto saxes in E. From bar 105 through bar 141, the ensemble has a huge challenge. to play the figures together without dragging and to maintain accurate intonation in the concert key of G Major. Sectional rehearsals with this section played VERY slowly at first are a must. If you have any interest in performing music from any of the Davis. Evans settings for Columbia Records, this is an example of the many minefields that are present. think of Springsville from Miles Ahead. Also observe the subtle use of dynamics as indicated by Evans. As I have experienced with my students ensembles, mastery of this difficult music is cause for celebration, and the more you play it, the more relaxed it will sound. -Jeffrey Sultanof. Editor. Note.

Antropologie deur Claude Thornhill. Geredigeer deur Jeffrey Sultanof. Gereël deur Gil Evans. Vir big band. Swing. Moeilik. Volle telling en stel dele. Gepubliseer deur Jazz Lines Publications. JL.JLP-8123. Agtergrond. Voor die Tweede Wêreldoorlog, die Claude Thornhill Orkes se gewildheid as 'n 'soet 'n band. Met die geïntegreerde klank van klarinette, Wikibooks, trompette, Frans horings, trombone en ritme afdeling speel onder die leier se virtuose klavier solo's, en die reëlings van die leier, Gil Evans en 'n paar ander, die band het 'n paar pragtige opnames en was redelik suksesvol. Na 'n kort rukkie in die vloot, Thornhill gelê lae vir 'n rukkie totdat hy sit sy band weer saam in 1946. Hierdie ensemble sou legendariese as komponis geword. verwerker Gil Evans se persoonlike werkswinkel, as Thornhill feitlik het die band aan hom te doen soos hy wou. Terwyl Evans verstaan ​​dat dit steeds 'n ensemble wat populêre musiek gespeel. en Evans beslis het sy aandeel van die dromerige, pragtige ballades en keurspelle. Hy het nie net skryf geleenthede Gerry Mulligan. wie Evans mentor na afloop van die saksofoonspeler. verwerker verlaat Gene Krupa. en George Russell. wat besig is om te formuleer wat sou wees om sy Lydian Chromatiese Konsep. , Maar Evans verken die nuwe wêreld van die moderne jazz sogenaamde "bebop. "Die resultate was die legendariese trilogie van instellings vir Antropologie, Donna Lee, en Yardbird Suite. Die meeste van die Thornhill musikante het min ervaring speel die nuwe musiek, so Evans dit geleer om hulle. Thornhill is nie tevrede met hierdie stukke en hulle was nie gespeel het toe hy op die erf, hoewel hy die eerste twee titels het 'n paar keer. Thornhill en Evans geskei musikale maatskappy in die vroeë 1948, en later daardie jaar, Mulligan, Russell, Johnny Mandel, John Carisi en John Lewis aangesluit met Gil 'n kleiner ensemble wat jou sal klink soos die Thornhill-band te skep. So is gebore die Miles Davis nonet. Die Musiek. Antropologie is geskryf deur Charlie Parker en Dizzy Gillespie. Evans gereël die lyn in 1947, en dit is aangeteken vir Columbia Records en vir radio transkripsies. Die instrumentasie oproepe vir 5 saxofoon verdubbel klarinet, 3 trompette, trombone 2, 2 Franse horings, tuba, kitaar, klavier, bas en tromme. Vir hierdie publikasie, kan die Franse horing en tuba dele afwisselend deur 'n 4 trompet en trombone 3 en 4 as volg gespeel word. Franse horing 1 Trumpet 4 Franse horing 2 Trombone 3 Tuba Trombone 4 Geleiers word sterk aangeraai om nie hierdie dele te verdubbel. As jy beide Franse horings en Tuba, nie die trompet en trombone dele gebruik nie. Soos met Yardbird Suite, Evans genoteer swing-ritmes as gesaai agste. Hierdie syfer is verander in hierdie publikasie te is Twee agtstes vir die gemak van lees. Bars 129-141 is later onttrek en re-georkestreerde vir wat was waarskynlik 'n eksperiment deur Evans verskillende maniere van scoring hierdie bars vir die Miles Davis nonet uit te toets. Hoewel die dele het die naam Antropologie geskryf aan die bokant, is die stuk nie direk aangehaal. Hierdie bars is later gebruik as 'n tema vir die twee bestaande uitsendings van die nonet van die Royal Roost. Aantekeninge tot die dirigent. Die eerste keer dat ek dit hoor behandeling van die Parker. Gillespie lyn, ek het gelag, want Evans een van die handelsmerk kleure van die Thornhill ensemble gebruik. klarinette, alt Wikibooks en beker-gedemp trompette. en dit toegepas vir 'n moderne jazz tema. Dit sal die laaste groep van instrumente wat die meeste verwerkers op so 'n tema sou gebruik gewees het nie, maar as Miles Davis het gesê: "Dit is Gil vir jou. "Hierdie reëling eenvoudig nie werk toe gespeel stadiger as kwartnoot 200, so die alte, klarinette en horings, nie net hul onderdele om te oefen om die musiek te goed speel nie, maar moet saam te oefen om die beste versnit moontlik te kry. Soos u weet, unisons is dikwels problematies wanneer instrumentale kleur en wye melodiese kontoere teenwoordig is, en is ook nog 'n uitdaging gegee dat die klarinet is in die sleutel van A, en die alt Wikibooks in E. Van bar 105 deur bar 141, die ensemble het 'n reuse-uitdaging. die syfers om saam te speel sonder sleep en akkurate intonasie te handhaaf in die konsert sleutel van G-majeur. Deursnee repetisies met hierdie artikel gespeel baie stadig by die eerste is 'n moet. As jy 'n belang in die uitvoering van musiek uit enige van die Davis. Evans instellings vir Columbia Records, hierdie is 'n voorbeeld van die talle mynvelde wat teenwoordig. dink Springsville van myl voor. Neem ook die subtiele gebruik van dinamika soos aangedui deur Evans. Soos ek met my studente ensembles ervaar, die bemeestering van hierdie moeilike musiek is rede vir viering, en die meer jy dit speel, hoe meer ontspanne dit sal klink. Jeffrey-Sultanof. Redakteur.
