Vodka Meets a Martini

Composer: Stuart Greenbaum
Composed: 1999 Duration: 4 mins.
Instrumentation: Big Band
ISMN: 979-0-720114-94-1 Catalogue: RM897
Level: 3.5 Country: Australia

Performance note: Vodka Meets a Martini is written with a laid-back, lounge feel over a slightly more complex ‘classical’ structure which repeats a 26-bar cycle five times.

This piece is written for standard big band with the addition of flute. It is possible for the baritone saxophone to double flute and a composite part is available. In any event, it is important to have a professional flautist so in most cases a separate player is preferable.

The 1st trumpet line also includes a flugel horn part, to be played by a separate player. The part for the drum kit is mostly notated. Some embellishments are to be encouraged but it is important that the drummer learns the written part first, as the feel is very specific.

The additional percussion part is also essential and not to be thought of as optional.

Performed by the University of Melbourne Big Band from 'The Studio Album' - Ian Godfrey Director.

Water Spirit Song is part of a suite extracted from Koto Dreaming, a music theatre work featuring the Japanese Butoh Dancer Yumi Umiumare commissioned by David Walker especially for the 2003 Asian Music and Dance Festival held in the Studio of the Sydney Opera House.

Koto Dreaming is dedicated to the koto player Satsuki Odamura, who has recorded the suite for Orpheus Music OM701. The original dance was accompanied by an ensemble of Asian and European instruments including shakuhachi, cor anglais, koto, darbukka and cello.

Water Spirit Song is performed twice in the original work: by the cello (accompanied by a recorded waterfall) and later, offstage, by the cor anglais.
