{"product_id":"lore-orachle","title":"Orachle","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Orachle\" was inspired by Igor Stravinsky’s Symphonies of Wind Instruments, a piece I have long admired for the way it creates movement through subtle rhythms and unexpected harmonic turns. In \"Orachle,\" I was interested in exploring those same qualities—music that may begin with a simple idea but gradually reveals something more complex and surprising.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJonathan Ragonese’s big-band arrangement brings a new dimension to the piece, expanding its rhythmic and harmonic ideas through the colors and textures of the full ensemble. Brass and woodwinds weave in and out of one another, creating shifting layers of sound while maintaining the underlying rhythmic pulse. Ragonese’s orchestration allows the piece to move between moments of clarity and density, sometimes highlighting individual voices and at other times treating the band as a single, unified instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a meeting point between the sound of a jazz big band and the orchestral language that inspired the original composition. This arrangement is written for full big band with alto saxophone soloist. \u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Alias Press","offers":[{"title":"Set","offer_id":45581581877424,"sku":"495-00181","price":86.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Score","offer_id":45581581910192,"sku":"495-00181F","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Set (download)","offer_id":45581581942960,"sku":"495-00181D-PDF","price":86.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Score (download)","offer_id":45581581975728,"sku":"495-00181FD-PDF","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/1767\/5696\/files\/495-00181.jpg?v=1789423909","url":"https:\/\/aliaspress.com\/products\/lore-orachle","provider":"Alias Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
