Samba for concert band

This samba is the third (and final) movement of the First Suite for concert band by Peter Habraken. Together with the waltz (part 2) this samba was composed in 2023 on behalf of the Marine Band of the Royal Netherlands Navy. 

In the original commissioned version it had a special instrumentation: it was written for concert band without saxophones, trumpets and trombones, because it was composed for a particular occasion when part of the orchestra was abroad.

For this edition, the composer has created a brand new version for full concert band.

The First Suite will be published in its entirety soon, but it remains possible to order the individual dances.

Note for the conductor: There are several options to shorten or lengthen this samba. If you play both specials (J - O and O - T) and the improvisation pattern once (bars 40 through 83), the samba lasts 4:10. Each additional round of improvisation adds approximately 45 seconds of time.
