JE: Hungarian Dance No 5 Johannes Brahms / Arr. Jon Harpin

Interpret: Glen Gray
Here is our transcription Brahms' Hungarian Dance Number 5, another excellent Billy May chart done for the Casa Loma Orchestra as part of a series of classical works arranged for big band. The chart fairly rips along at 245 beats per minute, and is a high energy piece with plenty of sectional interplay, tonal colour and dynamic contrasts. There is a cameo solo for Tenor which is written out in full, but can be improvised if preferred. Lead Alto doubles Clarinet.
