Explosion (M.Catingub)

“Explosion (M.Catingub)” is a big band arrangement credited to Matt Catingub as both arranger and original composer. The catalog does not specify a style, so this entry focuses on the documented scoring and materials rather than assigning a genre or performance character. The arrangement is listed at an advanced difficulty level and is presented in a 77-page format with a confirmed conductor score and confirmed individual parts. The instrumentation covers a complete 18-part big band setup: Alto Saxophones 1 and 2; Tenor Saxophones 1 and 2; Baritone Saxophone; Trumpets 1 through 5; Trombones 1 through 4; Bass Trombone; Piano; Guitar; and Drum Set. This makes the catalog information useful for directors and librarians checking whether the listed parts correspond to their ensemble’s available personnel. For working musicians, the confirmed score-and-parts format supports both rehearsal planning and part assignment. The advanced designation is relevant when evaluating the ensemble’s preparation needs, while the 77-page length provides a practical reference for organizing the music within a season, concert set, or rehearsal library. Because no style, duration, featured solo, key, or other interpretive details are supplied, those elements are intentionally not described here.
