=== Shout chorus ===
In jazz, a '''shout chorus''' (occasionally: '''out chorus''') is usually the last chorus of a [[big band]] arrangement, and is characterized by being the most energetic, lively, and exciting and by containing the musical climax of the piece. A shout chorus characteristically employs extreme [[range (music)|ranges]], loud [[dynamics (music)|dynamics]], and a re-arrangement of melodic motives into short, accented riffs. Shout choruses often feature [[tutti]] or concerted writing, but may also use [[counterpoint|contrapuntal]] writing or [[call and response (music)|call and response]] between the [[Brass instrument|brass]] and [[saxophone]]s, or between the [[musical ensemble|ensemble]] and the [[drummer]]. Additionally, brass players frequently use extended techniques such as falls, doits, turns, and shakes to add excitement.
