Instant Ensemble Music

new music by Javier Arau

I have been composing a series of pieces that are instantly playable by any combination of instruments. The compositions often include written parts for players who prefer to read and some improvised parts for players who prefer to improvise. My inspiration has been to produce music that musicians can create immediately, with no struggle on the page. The ensemble can then focus on making the music breathe and come to life in an engaging way. More on this, including score and audio samples. Music written thus for the following ensembles: concert band, chamber ensembles of any instrumentation and saxophone ensemble.
