This is probably the most-loved arrangement in the series. Take 5 (The song, not the group Take 6) is a classic jazz standard in 5/4 featuring saxophone. Aaron took the Doxology, put it in 5/4 and made it a saxophone feature in the feel of Take 5. Have your players listen to the demonstration CD, and once they get the feel of the rhythm, this song will be a snap. Grade 3
