This fun and challenging chart was written to showcase a strong low alto soloist and dynamic rhythm section. There are several chances to feature soloists improvising over one or two chords, providing students with an opportunity to explore dramatic solo choices over static harmony. It has several repeating sections that are a quick learn, and balances those with a couple of key center and groove changes for added challenge. The original small group arrangement was written by Michelle Nicolle (check out her album “Mancini”) and the vocal group adaptation was written by Kathryn Sherman.
Purchase of this arrangement includes: full conductor’s score, vocal part with chord changes, separate partially notated parts for all band instruments (mixture of written sections and slash notation), and an mp3 of the demo recording. Part tracks, rehearsal tracks, re-voiced options, and different instrumentation can be made available upon request.
Music by Henry Mancini
Arranged by Michelle Nicolle
