Mirage

"Mirage" is truly a one-of-a-kind jazz ensemble chart. Its musical narrative portrays a lonesome caravan aimlessly plodding through the desert. The travelers happen upon an "Eden" in the Sahara and party in ecstasy—until their oasis vanishes suddenly.

"Mirage" is a robust chart, with optional clarinet and flute doubles in a couple of the sax books. (Saxophone-only parts are also included, and work great, too).

Challenge your band and stun your audiences with this compelling musical statement.
