Autumn Leaves (A.Dedrick)

“Autumn Leaves (A.Dedrick)” is a big band arrangement by Art Dedrick of music by original composer Joseph Kosma. The catalog metadata identifies the ensemble as Big Band and lists the style as not specified, so this entry focuses on the documented scoring and contents rather than assigning a stylistic category. The arrangement is 18 pages and is marked easy in difficulty, making that classification the primary preparation reference provided for musicians and directors. Individual parts are confirmed. The catalog lists 17 instruments and parts: Vocal; Alto Saxophone 1; Alto Saxophone 3; Tenor Saxophone 2; Tenor Saxophone 4; Baritone Saxophone 5; Trumpets 1, 2, and 3; Trombones 1, 2, and 3; Piano; Guitar; String Bass; Tuba; and Drum Set. This instrumentation gives ensembles a clear reference for checking player coverage before rehearsal and for identifying the available materials by section. A conductor score is not confirmed in the supplied metadata and is therefore not represented as an included item. The title, arranger, original composer, ensemble, page count, difficulty, and listed parts provide the verified catalog details for this edition. Because no style, tempo, key, duration, featured solo, or other performance information is documented, those details should be established from the music itself rather than assumed from the catalog record. This is an easy big band arrangement with confirmed individual parts and an 18-page length. The documented instrumentation includes Vocal, Alto Saxophones 1 and 3, Tenor Saxophones 2 and 4, Baritone Saxophone 5, three Trumpets, three Trombones, Piano, Guitar, String Bass, Tuba, and Drum Set.
