  1. In the Mood Glenn Miller

  2. Have you ever asked yourself what makes a piece so special? • What makes a piece stand out from all the rest?

  3. Many people dabbled with this riff until it got to Glenn Miller where he got to the “meat and potatoes” of the song, which is what we all recognize today • In the mood is based off of an old jazz riff that has been passed own through the years, in various forms, most notably in Fletcher Henderson’s tune called, Hot and Anxious.

  4. Melody – a pleasing succession or arrangement of sounds "In the Mood" opens with a now-famous sax section theme based on repeated arpeggios that are rhythmically displaced; trumpets and trombones add accent riffs.

  5. This song was also based on a song called "Tar Paper Stomp" which was recorded in 1930 by Joseph "Wingy" Manone, who was a bandleader from New Orleans.

  6. Jazz musicians use the term "lead" or "head" to refer to the main melody, which is used as a starting point for improvisation. • Although the melody is often incorporated in improving, in this piece they scarcely use it if at all.

  7. The melody of this piece was what made this tune so iconic Its what everybody knew then and what everybody recognizes today.
