Well I finaly sat down and finished the program notes for N.J.S.G. and it is now available on line at:

http://www.sibeliusmusic.com/cgi-bin/show_score.pl?scoreid=100596

From the program notes:

N.J.S.G. is a based on my tune N.J.G. Redone for a High School level group with limited number of horns. It features five horns plus rhythm section. In the score the horn parts are simply listed as 1 through 5 and are shown at concert pitch. The director is free to mix and match the parts he needs for his particular group. You will have a full sound as long as each of the five horn parts are covered. I have provided multiple parts for each “part”. Id est for Horn 1 there is a Bb Tumpet part, an Eb Alto Sax 1 part and (at 8 va) a Flute 1 part. In fact there are separate alto sax parts for horns 1 through 4. The Bass Trombone/Tuba part listed as VI is the V part an octave lower. Simply use the ones you need. There are two piano parts, one is what is in the score, with just has chords symbols and the bass ques, the other labeled Piano PB, has a complete “comping” written out for a less experienced player. Simply print those parts that you need for your particular combination of instruments.

N.J.S.G is a simple Model Jazz tune in 5/4 time, with swung eight notes.
