Score shows parts transposed with Part 1 shown in Eb

Play cue-sized notes in brackets where main notes are out of range or inconvenient.

The final section of Vodery's original piano score includes instructions to 'clap hands' and 'knock on piano with knuckles'. This arrangement includes similar instructions for the same bars, indicated by x noteheads. Players may choose a percussive effect such as key clicks, tapping the body of the instrument, stamping feet etc.

The final four bars of this arrangement are an extension of the previous bars and may be omitted.

'Carolina Fox Trot' was recorded by the Victor Military Band on 13 October 1914 with the Victor recording label ledgers noting: 34 bars per minute, equivalent to 68 bpm. A recording by the Pathé Dance Orchestra in late 1914-early 1915 appears to be at a faster tempo - reflected in this arrangement. 

Programme note:

'Carolina Fox Trot' was written by US composer and arranger Will H. Vodery and published as a piano piece in 1914, with a sub-title 'New One Step', and with a front cover description: New Society Dance - Originated by Billy Kent & Jeanette Warner - America's Classiest Dancers. It is possible that the title of the piece was intended to be just 'Carolina', with 'Fox Trot' being a descriptive subtitle. The Fox Trot emerged as a new popular dance in 1914, and was initially danced to ragtime music.

Will Vodery is perhaps best known for the vocal and choral arrangements that he created for the original Broadway stage production of the classic musical 'Show Boat' (1927).

An energetic + fun a cappella arrangement of Mika's hit Grace Kelly for a treble voiced* a cappella group including a soloist and beatboxer. Includes a really fun layered vocal percussion section between voice parts. It's a bop!

*This is written for contemporary a cappella ensembles that have a specific bass singer (ideally on a mic). It does go down to a low C3 so you'll definitely need a lower alto on this note, BUT let me know if you'd like me to rejig these notes for you and I am happy to!

Requested by my beginner band, this iconic song was the perfect opportunity to have them play in compound time for the first time, using a 12/8 time signature. The melody is intially in the 1st part but then allows the second cornets/trumpets and horns to show what they can do, before the lower instruments lead us into the section everyone knows from Tiktok!
