This classic song by John Barry and Tim Rice originally sung by Rita Coolidge comes from Roger Moore's last Bond appearance in Octopussy.  This is a film very much of its time, many dry double-entendre from our leading man for sure which might raise a Moore-like eyebrow these days.  Likewise the song here is perhaps one of the lesser played James Bond title tracks too but it is a charming departure from some of the higher octane anthems like Thunderball, Live and let die or even Goldfinger and returns us to the gentler musical era / genre of From Russia with love, For your eyes only and You only live twice.

So why not program this in your film night for singer and orchestra.  In this version we have the original Rita Coolidge performancxe key (starting in E major) which is dusky and mellow but is also available on this website a semitone/half-step higher (strarting in F major) which might suit some female performers ranges better.

INSTRUMENTATION:

2 Flutes
2 Oboes
2 Clarinets
[Optional 2nd clarinet dbl. Alto Saxophone SOLO]
Alto Saxophone (SOLO)
2 Bassoons
4 French Horns
3 Trombones
Tuba

Timpani
Percussion [Susp.Cym. / Glock]
Harp
Piano
Electric Guitar (Lead)
Acoustic Guitar (Rhythm)[Optional]

Enjoy!

If you like this arrangement then other dramatic and very striking orchestrations exist from arranger John Langley for the following pieces:

Come what may
Diamonds are forever
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Mary did you know
Million Dreams
Once upon a December

This dynamic arrangement is set in a driving Latin style (quasi-Samba with an Afro-Cuban feel during the bridge). It features a jazz soprano vocalist (range C4-F5) which can also be performed an 8ve lower to accommodate a tenor voice. Piano, electric guitar, electric bass, and drumset are the driving force for the orchestra.

The demo recording features a short improvisation section with a piano solo but this expanded arrangement for full orchestra is designed to feature an electric guitarist. The solo section can linger until orchestral backgrounds are cued. With the extended improvisation, the performance time is approximately 5:00. Suited for intermediate to advanced performers.

This concerto is in the traditional three movement format with the first and third movements being fast and the middle movement slow.  The second and third movements are most like a blues work.  The first movement is a rondo format, is not particularly bluesy.  A Les Paulâ„¢ guitar would play particularly well in this movement.  The second movement switches between the soloist as the distorted guitar sound to the vocalist as the clean guitar sound.  The final movement is happy, upbeat, and lively good time blues.  In the second and third movements in particular, the basses (cello, double bass) should be easily heard. At the end of the third movement, the precisionist on the drum set should improvise a loud, untimed measure, solo utilizing all the drums and cymbals in the set ending with four moderately paced and slowing beats on the snare drum.  A momentary pause, then the final chord.

The guitarist will need at least one foot pedal for distortion enabling him/her to switch between a clean sound and a distorted sound.  The guitar should be the equivalent of a Fenderâ„¢ Stratocaster or Telecaster guitar; a Gibsonâ„¢ Les Paul would do nicely also.  The music is partially fingered leaving the player the opportunity to interpret the part.  The work is after the fashion of Chicago style blues of the 1960’s.  The conductor and guitarist may wish to listen to recordings by the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, John Lee Hooker, John Mayall and the Blues Breakers, B.B. King, etc. to get a feel for the music of the 1960’s blues bands.  It would be highly desirable to use an organ, for the 3rd movement, that can produce a Hammond B3â„¢ with Leslie sound, as that instrument was widely used in blues of that period.  Although some of the notes notated as harmonics (h) in the score can be played as fretted notes, playing them as natural and artificial harmonics provides an interesting change of tonality.  The orchestral part is not particularly challenging.  The concerto is approx. 17 minutes in length.

The Mineola was written in 1890 by John W. Hawd and arranged for full orchestra for the Centennial Celebration of the Villlage of Mineola, New York (1906 - 2006). Located approximately 25 miles East of New York City on Long Island, Mineola is the governing seat of Nassau County. The name Mineola was derived from the Algonquin Meniolagamika which means a friendly and pleasant village. The Mineola Waltz was premiered on January 29, 2006 by the Nassau Pops Symphony Orchestra. Founded in 1984 by its director, Louis Panacciulli, the NPSO continues to maintain a year round performance schedule. This charming, lilting waltz will be a welcome addition to any concert setting and in particular that Spring Pops and summer in the park in the under the gazebo concert. The Mineola has a light, Viennese quality that will delight audiences of all ages.
