Soft Rock/Afro Cuban 6/8
Duration ca. 10 min
…from the Children’s Songs Series
This arrangement of the German folk song “Der Mond ist aufgegangen” [Moon has risen] features a singer (baritone) and is packed with dense, warm voicings. Solos are played on a 10-bar minor blues in afro-cuban style. The song fades out in a scat solo. A challenging title to listen to and dream.

Duration ca. 10 min
The basie-style blues arrangement provides a medium difficult feature-chorus for each section, saxophones, trumpets and trombones. In between there is a lot of space for soloists.
