â€œIâ€™ll Walk Aloneâ€ is a World War II era ballad whose poignant melody sounds as though it could have been written just yesterday. Â First introduced in the 1944 movie Follow the Boys, it was hugely popular and has since been recorded by numerous artists.
Â Â Â Universal Pictures produced Follow the Boys in an effort to help boost morale for both overseas military and folks on the home front. Â Despite being filled with stars and songs, critics tended to dismiss it as hokey and trite. Â The exception was a scene in which Dinah Shore sang â€œIâ€™ll Walk Alone.â€ Â Nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song, Ms. Shoreâ€™s follow-up Victor recording spent 20 weeks on the top ten Best Selling Records chart. Â The song was used yet again in 1952 for another motion picture, With a Song in My Heart, the Jane Froman biographical film, and the melody eventually developed as a standard, particularly in the world of jazz.
Â Â Â Sammy Cahnâ€™s lyrics for this song express the feelings and the promise of a woman who has been separated from her lover by the war. Â She pledges that she will be true, that she will wait for him, and that â€œ'till you're walking beside me, I'll walk alone.â€ Â Jule Styneâ€™s melody is both plaintiff and simple. an eight-measure phrase, a repeat of the phrase, an eight-measure second phrase, then another repeat of the first phrase.
Â Â Â For this arrangement, the suggested tempo is a relatively slow, blues-like 72 bpm. Â It features a tenor saxophone as lead and solo instrument accompanied by brass quintet. Â A four-measure introduction opens the piece with Trumpet 1 playing melody and the other four brass providing background. Â Following the intro, Tenor Sax plays its first three notes alone; the other instruments begin their accompaniment on measure 6. Â Trumpet 1 is tacit during measures 6-11 but begins adding counterpoint in measure 12. Â
Â Â Â In performing this arrangement, brass instruments should ensure that, when the Sax plays, their volume as a group is under (i.e., softer than) the melody. Â The exception begins at measure 36, when a crescendo leads to the quintet playing fortissimo. Â During this section, the Tenor Sax plays a couple of responses. Â At measures 43 a decrescendo lowers the brass volume back to its original soft accompaniment level. Â The piece ends with brass recapping the introduction and Sax providing a final statement.
Â Â Â This piece, completed in 2023, consists of 57 measures, a little over three minutes in length. Â Written in the key of G major, Tubaâ€™s lowest note is a G below the staff. Â Other than that, all notes are well within the normal playing range of each instrument.
