The composer writes: "The Sparrow Was Gone In An Instant" is a modern work for full big band (8 brass) and is a great piece for doublers. In fact, there is no saxophone anywhere in the piece! Instead, there are 2 flute parts, 2 clarinet parts, and bass clarinet. This is a great piece to add variety to any concert, as well as challenge your players musically! This piece was inspired by the Gil Evans/Maria Schneider school of composition. It features a trombone 2 solo over a long, flowing solo section that builds up to an exciting climax. Great for advanced college and professional big bands.
