Experience the electrifying energy of Aram Khachaturian's iconic "Dance De Sabre," now expertly adapted for big band by the composer himself. This thrilling arrangement for big band, encompassing 35 pages, offers a dynamic interpretation of the original orchestral masterpiece. Designed for medium difficulty ensembles, it presents a compelling challenge while remaining accessible for dedicated high school, collegiate, or professional jazz orchestras.
