An absolute 80s classic arranged for string quartet! Have fun with this arrangement of 'All Night Long' - all breakdown sections are included, and moments with 'percussive' sounds.

Please note! There are some transcribed semiquaver string lines in the violin 2 part to look out for, and the mp3 guide uses programmed percussion sounds rather than Sibelius strings to show the imitated percussion. This arrangement has been taken up a semitone to D major from the original so some of the phrases sit better on strings. Enjoy!

Julia has a Masters in Jazz Performance from Guildhall School of Music & Drama, where she studied under jazz violinist, Chris Garrick.

Her arrangements offer fun takes on pop/jazz classics, keeping the essence of the original. Features of the arrangements include the inclusion of extended and percussive techniques such as chopping, moments of improvisation, melodic lines passed around all players, and solid grooves. Such features are flexible and can be adapted to suit players skills.

    Brandon Thomas’ three-act farce, Charley’s Aunt, opened in London in 1892 and was a huge success. It has since been performed and adapted many times. One such adaptation was Where’s Charley? a 1948 Broadway version with music and lyrics by Frank Loesser. Ray Bolger played the starring role as Charley, and its most memorable number was the second act’s Once In Love With Amy. Every night Bolger would perform the number, then turn to the audience and invite them to sing along with him. They loved it, and Bolger would continue to perform it as his signature act for years even after the play closed.
    The rhythmic and melodic nature of Once In Love With Amy, particularly its chorus, seems to lend itself to performance by musical instruments in the lower registers. And that’s what inspired this arrangement in which bass tuba carries the load with strong support from euphonium and tuba. All play the eight-measure introduction, while the verse-I caught you, sir, having a look at her as she went strolling by-features euphonium and tuba playing melody while bass tuba provides tempo and pulse. Then comes the familiar chorus-Once in love with Amy, always in love with Amy-and bass tuba takes over. The first time through, bass tuba plays melody with the other two providing accompaniment; the second time, bass tuba plays an intricate counterpoint while euph and tuba do a rather smooth swing version of the melody. Then comes the surprise ending in which all three participate.
    Most players will have little trouble. The arrangement consists of 75 measures in 4/4 time. There are several tempo changes; the fastest is quarter note equals 108. Key signature is G, changing to F at measure 44. All notes for euphonium and bass tuba should be within normal playing range. Tuba, on the other hand, plays quite a few G and A notes at the top of the treble clef.
     Sweetwater Brass Press also offers a similar version of Once In Love With Amy arranged for brass quintet.
    This arrangement was completed in 2020, and performance time runs about 3 minutes, 1 second. The arranger, Les Smith, will be happy to provide substitute parts (for example, treble clef baritone for euphonium) at no charge; contact him directly at lessmith61@bellsouth.net.

The Janet and Alan Bullard Piano Series contains a range of arrangements for easy piano, old and new.

'And did those feet' the mystic and idealistic poem of William Blake (1757-1827) was set to music by the director of London's Royal College of Music, C. H. H. Parry (1848-1918) to raise public morale during the First World War. The triumphal result was soon adopted as an anthem by political parties on both sides of the spectrum, sung lustily at the last night of the BBC Promenade concerts in the Albert Hall, and became a fixture at many sporting ceremonies and an unofficial National Anthem.

Janet Bullard has a busy and thriving piano teaching practice and many years’ experience of teaching adults and children. Alan Bullard is a pianist, composer and arranger whose music is performed widely. Together they are the authors of the successful Pianoworks series of tutor and repertoire books for beginner pianists, published by OUP. www.bullardmusic.co.uk
