Recorded on the One O’Clock Lab Band’s 2011 CD. This original programmatic work is a driving contemporary ballad that starts simply and develops slowly into a grandiose ending. It features bass, piano, flugelhorn and tenor sax (tenor sax also doubles on soprano) and drum solos as well as a written classical-style descant trumpet solo. Lead trumpet 1 range – high D. Solo trumpet 3 range – high D. Scored for 10 brass.

This arrangement of Wayne Shorter’s beautiful melody features a piano intro, transition, and ending that offers a lullaby setting but with a rather dark and beautifully mysterious hue. Also features improvised solos for the piano and soprano sax. The ensemble writing is lush with melodic counterpoint and grand swells. Lead trumpet range – high C. (Live recording by the WDR Big Band).
