Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree Stept-Brown-Tobias / Arr. Bjørn Morten Kjærnes

Serie / Series: Flex 5 ShowBlow

"Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree (With Anyone Else but Me)" is a popular song that was made famous by Glenn Miller and by the Andrews Sisters during World War II. Its lyrics are the words of two young lovers who pledge their fidelity while one of them is away serving in the war.
Originally titled "Anywhere the Bluebird Goes", the melody was written by Sam H. Stept as an updated version of the nineteenth-century English folk song "Long, Long Ago". Lew Brown and Charles Tobias wrote the lyrics and the song debuted in the 1939 Broadway musical Yokel Boy. After the United States entered the war in December 1941, Brown and Tobias modified the lyrics to their current form, with the chorus ending with "...'till I come marching home".
In 1942 the song was featured in the film Private Buckaroo as a performance by the Andrews Sisters with the Harry James orchestra and featuring a tap dancing routine by The Jivin' Jacks and Jills. It was featured in the films Twelve O'Clock High (1949), With a Song in My Heart (1952), Kiss Them for Me (1957), A Carol for Another Christmas (1964), In Dreams (1999) and The Master (2012). It also featured in the mini-series The Pacific. You can use the song both on musical concerts, movie concerts or just as a happy jazz tune on your next concert.

On the sections (like from bar 25), please work carefully to make a good balance with all parts, and that each chord is balanced. With 4-part harmonies sometimes you need to hold back certain notes to make the accord sound good.
If you want to open up for a longer improvisation, you can repeat 65 to 81, but then change the part 2 in bar 80 from Eb to a D on the repeat. The accord will be an F6 instead of F7 (on beat 3 and 4 in bar 80) Have fun and enjoy!

[NO]"Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree (With Anyone Else but Me)" ble gjort berømt av Glenn Miller og Andrews Sisters under andre verdenskrig. Teksten handler om to unge elskere som lover sin troskap mens en av dem er borte i krigen.
Originalt var tittelen "Anywhere the Bluebird Goes", ble melodien skrevet av Sam H. Stept som en oppdatert versjon av den engelske folkesangen "Long, Long Ago" fra det nittende århundre. Lew Brown og Charles Tobias skrev teksten og sangen debuterte i 1939 i Broadway musikalen Yokel Boy. Etter at USA kom inn i krigen i desember 1941, endrede Brown og Tobias teksten til deres nåværende form, med koret sluttende med "..." til jeg kommer hjem. "
I 1942 ble sangen brukt i filmen Private Buckaroo fremført av Andrews Sisters med Harry James-orkesteret. Den ble også brukt i filmene Twelve O'Clock High (1949), With a Song in My Heart (1952), Kiss Them for Me (1957), A Carol for Another Christmas (1964), In Dreams (1999) and The Master (2012). Den ble også brukt i miniserien The Pacific. Du kan bruke sangen både på musikal konserter, filmkonserter eller bare som en glad jazz melodi på din neste konsert.

Vennligst arbeid nøye (spesielt på delene som takt 25), for å få en god balanse mellom alle stemmer, slik at hver akkord klinger godt. Med 4-delte harmonier trenger du noen ganger å dempe enkelte akkordtoner for å skape en fin balanse.
Hvis du vil åpne opp for en lengre improvisasjon, kan du gjenta 65 til 81, men endre part 2 i takt 80 fra Eb til D når du repeterer. Akkorden vil være en F6 i stedet for F7 (på slag 3 og 4 i takt 80) Ha det gøy!
