I have one bar of music I'm having a problem with. I have the Hal Leonard transcript for it but it does not seem to match the notes on the score. It is from a Chicago tune. I know the score is for B flat horns, but even after transposing, it still does not seem to match. Any help greatly appreciated! Bernie
Which Hal Leonard "Chicago" book are you pulling this from? And just looking at it, the riff seems familiar, but this time I can't place it (although I might if I hear it).
I can maybe help some this evening after work.

The riff is from "Poem for the People". The book is called Transcribed Scores Chicago Volume I. ISBN 978-0-7935-7064-5 Let me know what you come up with! I'm looking for the piano notes in that measure. Thanks! Bernie
I think I have that book. I'll take a look this evening.
Is the problem that it doesn't sound right? You do realize that the top line is for Bb Tenor Sax and Bb Trumpet; however, the trombone is a C instrument, so they are 1 whole note apart.
To normalize the part in C, you'll need to bring the trumpet and sax notes down one whole step for it to sound right (to make everything in the same key on the computer).
Or is it a different problem?

It seems the Notation is reflecting the (whatever it was) you scanned and posted as an image. C#-A-C# is equal to F#-D-F# that you referenced once transposed.
Quote:
very top notes I hear in the original(in C piano) are G Gflat G A Gflat. The notation after transposing in the score are F# D F# etc...
Apparently the 'original' as you hear it doesn't match the score being used.
The transposing part seems correct. I listened to the mp3 snippet you sent me and I see how the notation may be deceiving because the accents can mislead you. Plus 'pad' type horns (and keys) add to the overall sound.
FWIW I can't hear the "G Gflat G A Gflat" sequence you referenced, in any key.
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome Make your sound your own!
So can you tell me what notes you think are being played? That's all I'm really trying to get at... I also did email Hal Leonard publishing to see if they can take a look at those measures. Thanks! Bernie
Bernie, I am not familiar with the song and have only seen that little bit of score you shared and the 1 measure mp3 you sent, so I really don't know. Looking at it maybe Em-Am-D6 (?)
