Caravan (R.McConnell)

This catalog entry is for “Caravan (R.McConnell),” an arrangement credited to Rob McConnell of a composition by Duke Ellington. It is listed for Big Band and is marked medium difficulty. The catalog does not specify a style, so no stylistic classification is assigned here. The documented edition contains 47 pages and confirms individual parts. The available instrument metadata lists eight parts: Alto Sax, Tenor Sax, Baritone Sax, Trumpet, Trombone, Piano, Bass, and Drums. These listings provide the practical instrumentation for reviewing ensemble requirements before programming or assigning preparation. A conductor score is not confirmed in the supplied metadata. Accordingly, this entry identifies the confirmed individual parts without representing a conductor score as included. The page count applies to the cataloged item as recorded; the metadata does not break that total down by score or part. For directors, librarians, and performers, the main catalog considerations are the Big Band designation, medium difficulty rating, 47-page length, and the specified eight-part instrumentation. The title and credits distinguish this arrangement from other versions of “Caravan,” while the absence of a stated style leaves interpretation of genre classification outside the verified record. Use the listed instruments and confirmed contents as the basis for ensemble planning. This is a medium-difficulty Big Band arrangement with 47 cataloged pages. Individual parts are confirmed for Alto Sax, Tenor Sax, Baritone Sax, Trumpet, Trombone, Piano, Bass, and Drums. A conductor score is not confirmed in the supplied metadata, so ensemble preparation should be planned around the documented individual parts. No style, tempo, duration, featured solo, or other performance detail is specified. Q: Who arranged and composed this version of “Caravan”?
