Dawntime, Op. 17, No. 1

Dawntime Joe Clark Op. 17, No. 1 A Lead Sheet

Performance Notes: Opus 17, "Jazz Pieces" catalogues pieces I wrote while studying jazz piano under Mary Giacobbe. While most exist only as lead sheets, a few are written out in full notation. I recognise the strangeness of providing a cover for a lead sheet but, not having nearly enough to publish my own fake book, I'm not quite sure how else to publish them - and there is something to be said for consistency!

"Dawntime" is my first lead sheet, written on November 24, 2008. Some chromatic harmonies spice up the short head. ~Joe Clark, 05.07.13 JOE CLARK is a freshman at North Middlesex Regional High School in Townsend, MA.
