Special Music this Sunday
Jazz is a style of playing a song featuring embellishments to the melody and an arrangement of musical ideas for playing a song including 1. An introduction; 2. A first chorus featuring the original melody played by horns including trumpets, trombones, clarinets, and/or saxophones and the original accompaniment played by a rhythm section including drums, tuba or string bass, banjo, guitar and/or a piano; 3. A series of choruses featuring melodic improvisations over the original accompaniment; 4. A repeat of the first chorus with the original melody and the original accompaniment; 5. An Ending.
Jazz got started in New Orleans when black musicians first played religious songs such as “When The Saints Go Marching In” or “Just A Closer Walk With Thee” slowly in a funeral procession on the way to a gravesite and then quickly after the interment on the way to a reception. Musicians who wanted to create variety in the performance of the melody started “jazzing up the melody” and thereby “playing jazz” by playing improvised melodies based upon the original harmony and rhythm played by the rhythm section. Jazz is considered an original American musical art form. Today's Special Music, “When The Saints Go Marching In” was first Recorded by Louis Armstrong in 1938.
