Composed by Sam H. Stept and Sidney Clare. Arranged by Jay Dougherty. A Cappella,Contemporary,Jazz,Standards. 5 pages. Jay Dougherty #872605. Published by Jay Dougherty (A0.1281261).

As sung by Ella Fitzgerald, this big band classic is arranged by Jay Dougherty for SAATB+solo (6 total parts) a cappella. It is meant to be performed with a jazz ensemble accompaniment, but could be performed solo as a short piece without repeat. It serves well as a fun, upbeat concert closer or encore piece!

Please note that there is a 10-copy minimum purchase even though there are only 6 parts. If your ensemble has fewer than 10 singers, you're still getting a great piece for a good price by purchasing the rights to 10 copies.

Oh, Lady Be Good! is a 1924 song by George and Ira Gershwin. It was introduced by Walter Catlett in the Broadway musical Lady, Be Good! written by Guy Bolton, Fred Thompson, and the Gershwin brothers and starring Fred and Adele Astaire. The song was also performed by the chorus in the film Lady Be Good (1941), although the film is unrelated to the musical.
A 1947 recording of the song became a hit for Ella Fitzgerald, notable for her scat solo. For her album Ella Fitzgerald Sings the George and Ira Gershwin Songbook (1959), it was sung as a ballad arranged by Nelson Riddle.

By Ella Fitzgerald. By Traditional. Arranged by Vanessa Klassen. Jazz,Religious,Spiritual,Standards. 21 pages. Vanessa Klassen #735208. Published by Vanessa Klassen (A0.1135165).

“Just a Closer Walk with Thee� dates back to the southern African-American churches of the nineteenth century, frequently being performed as part of a traditional New Orleans-style funeral march. Composer Kenneth Morris heard a train station porter singing the song while traveling from Kansas City to Chicago in 1940. The music became so prominent in his mind that Morris exited his train and took a different train back to the previous station to ask the porter to sing it again. Morris wrote down the music and lyrics and had the song published. The song soon became a standard in both the gospel and jazz genres and has since been recorded by numerous artists. The original author or composer is unknown. This arrangement for clarinet quintet is closely based on Ella Fitzgerald’s recording of the song which was featured on her 1967 album, “Brighten the Corner.� Ella’s voice is represented in the Clarinet 1 part which has been transcribed exactly as she sung. There is also a simplified Clarinet 1 part which is easier to read and allows the soloist more freedom to embellish as desired. The accompanying parts are the background vocals and upright bass, with the light piano riffs in the E♭ Clarinet part. The E♭ part may be omitted for an easier quartet version. The biggest challenge in this arrangement is the balance as the solo is often in the lower register of the clarinet (below the break).

My arrangement is quite different from the tune intended for the 1928 show Funny Face but actually used in Rosalie. This Gershwin brothers song emerged with different lyrics when sung by Ella Fitzgerald 10 years later and took on a different meaning. It later turned up in the 1957 film of Funny Face performed charmingly by Audrey Hepburn.
