Arranged by John Ivor Holland. 20th Century,Broadway,Film/TV,Musical/Show,Standards. Score and Parts. 36 pages. John Ivor Holland #824410. Published by John Ivor Holland (A0.1228293). The Umbrellas of Cherbourg ('Les Parapluies de Cherbourg') is a 1964 French romantic-drama-musical film written and directed by Jacques Demy, with music and lyrics by Michel Legrand, winning the Palme d'Or at the 1964 Cannes Film Festival and nominated for several Oscars; it was also adapted into an English-language stage musical. This enigmatic main title theme is otherwise known as the song (with English lyrics) I Will Wait For You and opens with a quartet of flute, horn, alto saxophone and bass clarinet, moving chromatically through several keys to its sultry conclusion. A wonderful slice of French song-writing that will provide a contrasting slower moment in any concert and highlight your star players.
