| Schneeschmelze [Thaw] | jazz waltz (even 8ths, fusion) | duration: ca. 7 min |
| It´s about the feeling after a long cold winter, when the sun comes out for the first time and icicles start dripping from the roofs, when everything begins to melt what before seemed to be frozen eternally. An uplifting melody in major- and sus4-harmony, variable soloists, a fusion-guitar stating the melody together with other instruments and the percussion or drum solo make you feel in a light and exciting place. | 17 parts and 20-page score | |

The solo-part is open for several soloists. Flutes and Clarinets and percussion dominate the Sound of the minimalistic interlude, where Time seems to float and which offers space for a tenor solo. The backings played by woodwinds, trombones, flugelhorns and percussion lead to the coda, which pays tribute to the head. Finally, the piece comes to an end in the outro, solely played by guitar and piano. An ambitioned piece for ambitioned bands. | 17 parts and 17-page score | Score-Sample | 79,50 € |
