about.
Contrapuntal and complex, Ludis Blues borrows from Hindemith to compose a tune that is simultaneously intricate and lively that is perfect for any advanced jazz ensemble!
Ludis Blues was a counterpoint composition assignment given to me by my college composition teacher at the University of Texas at San Antonio. The project was a study on Bach, Bill Holman, and Paul Hindemith. For the final, I decided to take a look at Hindemith's "Ludus Tonalis" and write a big band chart based on it. From that, Ludis Blues was born; based on subjects and counter-subjects from Hindemith's "Ludus Tonalis".
