Jordan Roberts' brass quintet arrangement of I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire brings a fresh, invigorating sound to this classic pop song. Originally written in 1938 by Bennie Benjamin, Eddie Durham, Sol Marcus, and Eddie Seiler, the song gained widespread popularity with The Ink Spots' 1941 rendition, which climbed to number four on the US pop chart and resonated deeply with listeners during World War II. Known for its poignant opening line, I don't want to set the world on fire / I just want to start a flame in your heart, the song found renewed fame in the 21st century through its inclusion in the Fallout video game series. Roberts' arrangement for brass quintet not only preserves the song's nostalgic charm but also infuses it with a dynamic and contemporary energy, making it a delightful experience for modern audiences.
