the 4th trombone is written for a bass, and the vocal key is D. brass, with sax figures backing. A wonderful middle passage of two trumpet pairs
playing counterbalancing lines, one set open, one pair with wah-wah plungers, and
both backed by glissing trombones and fill-phrased saxes is quite unique. Sax
doubles: 1st alto to clarinet; 1st tenor to clarinet; baritone to alto.
