FULL SCORE
This composition gets its name from the predominant use of the 4th interval. Ever since this arrangement was added to the T.S. Monk Bank library, Monk has invariably called it to open the sets. His reasoning--it swings hard and gets you into the spirit of playing music. At the suggested tempo this arrangement is at least medium difficult, but at a slower tempo like medium swing it's a good exercise in the fourth interval for inexperienced players. With 3 C treble clef parts, the arrangement can be played by 3 flutes or 3 guitars.
SOLOS: The chord progression is not difficult: II-Vs, successive dominants and I chords.
