Moonlight Serenade is the Glenn Miller theme tune, and one of the best known big band tunes of all time. This is the original arrangement, transcribed by Jeff Hest, and is a completely faithful reproduction. Saxes are scored for clarinet, 2 altos and 2 tenors. The clarinet solo is fully written out and the arrangement comes with rehearsal/performance notes for the bandleader.

Belwin Jazz presents Moonlight Serenade, a level 4 jazz band series piece that is designed for high school and advanced junior high school band. Instrumentation includes 5 saxophones, 8 brass, and 4 rhythm parts. Optional parts include flute, tuba, horn in F and baritone T.C./ tenor saxophone. The solos are written out with chord changes, and rhythm section parts suggest chord voicings and rhythms. The guitar chord frames are provided to help young guitarists as well.
