JE: Cheek to Cheek for male voice and big band Irving Berlin / Arr.Jon Harpin

score and partsCheek to Cheek - Frank Sinatra. Es gibt nicht allzu viel zu sagen über dieses Chart, denn die Kombination von Frank Sinatra und Billy May spricht für sich. Liebevoll von Jon Harpin transkribiert, schwingt sich dieses Chart von Anfang bis Ende wie verrückt. Der Gesangsstimme wird von Sinatra "wie gesungen" geschrieben und die Stimmlage ist durchgehend Bb. Es gibt ...

Cheek to cheek : Irving Berlin

for female voice and big band score and parts

JE: Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen (Andrews Sisters) Sholom Secunda

Here is the Andrews Sisters' version of Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen (pronounced "shane"), and it is one of their most famous and popular songs. This chart includes the opening verse, with the Clarinet solo fill-ins behind, and the solo vocal middle 8 also with the Clarinet solo behind. We have adapted the band backings into a full big band line-up, from the smaller set-up used for t ...

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 ...

Big Band: When the Saints Traditional / Arr.Myles Collins

Many big bands have recorded versions of The Saints, yet this one really stands out from the crowd. Whilst not strictly a BG chart, as it was recorded by members of the Goodman Orchestra, it contains some fine ensemble writing, a flowing Clarinet solo in BG style, and solos for Piano and Tenor too. The whole chart swings like crazy from start to finish. All of the solos are wri ...

JE: American Patrol Frank White Meacham / Arr.Myles Collins

American Patrol? - aber jeder hat das in seiner Bibliothek. Nun, ja und nein. Es gibt viele Bands, die ein "Stock"-Tanzband-Arrangement verwenden, das ursprünglich für 5 Achsen und 5 Bläser geschrieben wurde und möglicherweise dann für eine größere Band angepasst wurde. Das Problem ist, dass es in einer Reihe von Punkten "falsch" ist, nicht zuletzt, weil der richtige Schlüssel ...

JE: Trumpet Blues & Cantabile Harry James

JE: The Christmas Song Myles Collins

This is our transcription of Ella Fitzgerald's wonderful rendition of The Christmas Song, also known as Chestnuts Roasting. This chart is scored for vocal solo, 5 saxes, rhythm and optional vibraphone only. We have also included a solo Trumpet part in lieu of the vibes. This is an easy chart to play and will be instantly recognised and appreciated by every audience. There are n ...

JE: Chattanooga Choo Choo Glenn Miller / Arr.Myles Collins

Here is Glenn Miller's Chattanooga Choo Choo, adapted from the version in the film Sun Valley Serenade. Essentially this is the same structure as the vocal version, except that we have modified the chart to go straight from the end of the instrumental chorus to the surprise key change leading into the final shout chorus. This chart is therefore only two and a half minutes long, ...

JE: Winter Wonderland Ella Fitzgerald / Arr.Myles Collins

Song of the Volga Boatmen Bill Finegan

Written by Bill Finegan for the Glenn Miller Orchestra, this number is a great example of the arranger's art. He took a simplistic tune (Yo Ho Heave Ho) and turned it into a memorable piece, famous for its central passage of unison Trombones followed four bars later by unison Trumpets repeating the same phrase, both getting ever higher in their ranges, and leading to a huge tut ...

JE: Here Comes Santa Claus / Santa Claus Is Coming To Town Alan Glasscock

Wow. This is a tough, storming swing chart from the talented Linda Eder, and is not just for Christmas. The arrangement is a two-tune medley of Here Comes Santa Claus and Santa Claus is Coming to Town, and swings for all of its five minutes. The opening is memorable, there is a solo spot for lead Alto, a surprise change of feel in the middle taken from Sing Sing Sing and Oh Tan ...
