Strings du Swing (swing): Score, parts & audio track (level 3)

“Strings du Swing,” an original by Julie Lyonn Lieberman, incorporates chromaticism (half-step motion between scale tones) found in jazz. Swing is built on an underlying triplet feel and became extremely popular during the Roaring Twenties. Big Bands developed an explosion of new melodies and arrangements suited to the style. This composition mixes swing and jazz lines and offers a track to practice your soloing skills with.
