Product Description

An intermediate to advanced arrangement of a Night in Tunisia for solo piano, a famous bebop melody in D minor. It has an AABA form with an extra C section, also sometimes called a tag, coda or interlude.

Overall this arrangement is 7 pages and 90 bars long with a written out solo included the second time over the form.

"Melodically, this is a challenging piece. Most of the melody notes fall on color tones and chord extensions, and the tune moves very quickly using exotic intervals in both directions. Harmonically, the piece is less complex. A is simply V7 i V7 i, with an altered Neopolitan chord being used as a tri-tone substitution for V7 most of the time. The chord progression of B is a standard one as well: a cycle-of-fifths variation alternates minor and major 7th chords starting on v7(b5) (functioning as a ii chord of III) and descends to III before dropping a half-step to the ii7(b5) of i. This is identical to the harmonic progression of the B section of Alone Together (in the original key, Am7 D7(b9) Gm Gm7(b5) C7(b9) F)."
