This Bigband Arrangement is part of the NDR Bigband Composition & Arrangement Contest.
The Wellerman sea shanty (soon may the wellerman come) is an ear catching tune and the best part:
It's public domain! Therefor it went viral in early 2021 on TikTok and YouTube.

This Big Band Arrangement features:
- full score in landscape mode
set of parts in DIN A4:
- Alto Sax 1 (with instrument change to flute)
- Alto Sax 2
- Tenor Sax 1
- Tenor Sax 2
- Bari Sax
- Trumpet 1
- Trumpet 2
- Trumpet 3
- Trumpet 4
- Trombone 1
- Trombone 2
- Trombone 3
- Trombone 4
- Guitar
- Piano Keys
- Bass
- Drums
- Steel Drum (Percussion)

Jazz Solos are set for trumpet 2 and trombone 2.
The unique instrument Steel Drum was added to achieve a caribbean flair.
It can be played by the percussionist or the band leader.
If a steel drum is not available, please consider using a xylophone, marimba or any kind of glockenspiel.

The genre (stil) is set to funk (no swing) to find some remembrance to the traditional Bigband Arrangement of John Brown's Other Body.
In addition a part is added, that introduces some electro swing moves as the one in Louis Primas Sing Sing Sing.
The last crossreference can be made to the computer game music of The Course of Monkey Island, because the Pirate atmosphere meets ups with a sea shanty.

If you have any comments, please contact me, I would be very happy if this arrangement will be played by any kind of Big Band.

By Thea Wray. By Louise Bennett and Norman Span. Arranged by Althea Wray. 21st Century,Children,Contemporary,Multicultural,Traditional,World. Score. 3 pages. Water II Wine Publishing #994724. Published by Water II Wine Publishing (A0.1412841).

Written originally by Norman Span AKA King of the Radio, Harry Belafonte made the Calypso song ' Matilda' famous and Rt Honourable Dr Louise Bennett Coverley OM OJ MBE known affectionately as Miss Lou went on to adapt the tune as a children's Happy Birthday song for her childrens programmes.
I actually played with her as a teenager on her children's programme, Ring Ding, which aired on JBCin the 1070's. I had the honour and pleasure of playing this and other songs with her a few times as Marjorie Whylie, her usual pianist, had broken her wrist (my mothere even looked after her at the University Hospital - small world Kingston !).  I remember her taking me under her wing and I even had a chance to visit her in her lovely home in Gordon Town, St Andrew. She left an indelible mark on me.  Now I have a chance to write,arrange and record my favourite pieces from her repertoire.  I have sung this to children in primary schools in South London.  I have tried to retain but update the calyspo feel in the bass clef and my producer Jaja Wray has enhanced this with his percussion and drum patterns and other fills. This track will be released in April 2024.
