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!

It's from Power Tracks but the audio file is in MP3 and I can post the notation as a pdf.

I did but didn't see where I could attach a file. I know I've sent files to people before, but can't remember how I did it....

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?

I tried that and it still doesn't sound right - maybe let me know what notes you see for piano and I'll try it again...

The 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...

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.

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.

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

If you transpose the trumpet parts down one whole step you'll have the right transcription. B-G-B C-A-C F#-F#

However I think the root accent notes you hear (that aren't in the transcription) are E-E-A-A-F#-F#
The accents being on
1, 2, 2and, 3and, 4, 5

What do you think the notes other than the root notes are?
I'm having no luck plinking on the piano trying to figure them out....

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 (?)
