Jazz Ensemble Jazz Ensemble - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.844241 Composed by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse. Arranged by Gerhard Guter. Film/TV. Score and parts. 101 pages. Gerhard Guter #3874875. Published by Gerhard Guter (A0.844241). Gene Wilder’s 1971 performance of this song in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory won the hearts of boys and girls dreaming of endless worlds of candy and fantasy. Gerhard Guter’s swinging jazz waltz rendition for big band with solo alto or bass vocalist breathes new life into this beloved tune. The introduction sets up a repeating harmonic pattern, which returns at various points during the arrangement, which gradually picks up steam and swing, unfolding in a lush cadence as the vocalist launches into the poignant lyric. Saxophone writing draws upon the usage of trills, across-the-barline quadruplets, and harmonized flourishes. Unison piano and (optional) vibraphone parts will bring to mind the musical code for entering Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Room. The orchestration benefits from a variety of dynamic shadings and the use of bucket mutes for the trombones and cup mutes for the trumpets. Dramatic moments are emphasized with mallets. Solo changes are provided for scat vocal, vibes, guitar, and piano. Vocal (alto or bass), Five saxes (2 altos, 2 tenors, 1 bari), eight brass, piano/bass/drums, and optional guitar and vibraphone. Top brass notes are C6 trumpet and A4 trombone. Demo produced, programmed, and performed by Gerhard Guter. Vocal performed by Aimee Nolte.
