This is Wynton Marsalis's "All Rise", a massive-scale piece for full orchestra, jazz band, solo trumpet, and an extra large chorus. It spans across a huge variety of styles and genres, from jazz and blues to classical and world music. As stated on Marsalis's website:
"All Rise was commissioned by the New York Philharmonic and premiered at Lincoln Center in December 1999. All Rise is structured in the form of a 12 bar blues. It is separated into three sections of 4 movements. Each section expresses different moments in the progression of experiences that punctuate our lives. It is a personal and communal progression. The first four movements are concerned with birth and self-discovery; they are joyous. The second four movements are concerned with mistakes, pain, sacrifice and redemption. They are somber and poignant. The last four are concerned with maturity and joy. All Rise contains elements of many things I consider to be related to the blues: the didgeridoo, ancient Greek harmonies and modes, New Orleans brass bands, the fiddler’s reel, clave, samba, the down home church service, Chinese parade bands, the Italian aria, and plain ol’ down home ditties. Instead of combining many different styles on top of a vamp, I try to hear how they are the same. In attempting to unite disparate and large forces, everyone has to give up something in order to achieve a greater whole. The jazz band has to play more 2/4 marches and ostinato bass grooves, while the orchestra has to adapt to a percussive roughness and the metronomic dictates of a rhythm section. The choir must do lots of waiting. The fun is in the working together."
