Each beat should be made visible with a note or rest, except beat four of the second measure.2. Also, when appropriate, correct the direction of the note stems. Do not change the articulations or the actual sound durations.If you would like to do this question, write your corrections on a piece of manuscript paper or print this page and use the blank staff provided.You may view the correct answer by clicking on the blank staff below.

Arranging Question 4Arranging Question 4Print this page or copy it onto a piece of manuscript paper.Now draw a circle around any of the notes in the example that could be played on an open string of a four-string bass with standard tuning. Place an X under any notes that are out of range for this instrument.Click on the staff to view the answer.

Arranging Question 5Arranging Question 5The following is an unstylized melody with chord symbols, as would usually be found on a lead sheet. On a piece of manuscript paper, rewrite the melody in a swing style and score it as a soli (harmonized with a voicing under each melody note). The instrumentation is trumpet, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, trombone, and baritone saxophone.Use a five-line open score and write the instruments at actual (concert) pitch. For this example, put the melody on the trumpet part and assume that there is a rhythm section playing. The original key may be changed to accommodate the range of the instruments.Note: An "open" score is one in which each instrument is assigned its own staff. The parts are vertically aligned so that the score reader or conductor can look at any place on the score and easily see what all of the instruments are doing at any given moment.There are many acceptable ways to accomplish this task. Clickhereorhereto view 2 different "soli" solutions with different alterations of the melody.To view another melodic variation, this time scored as "melody with background," clickhere.To view a fourth melodic variation, this time scored in octaves with a unison "guide tone" background line, clickhere.
