Billy Joel's Grammy-Award-winning 1977 smooth-jazz hit has become an enduring standard of the soft-rock genre. This arrangement is in the same key as the original recording, and is a faithful represention of Joel's original recording.
Accomplished composer/arranger/conductor Michael J. Glasgow created this arrangement for Velocity Handbell Ensemble, and is excited to share it with the larger handbell community via Hal Leonard's ArrangeMe program and Glasgow's publishing division, New Domain Music. The handbell folio (NDM-0002B) includes a part for advanced bell-tree soloist, who covers the iconic Phil Woods saxophone solos on a second set of handbells.
This product is NDM-0002I, which is the companion instrument pack for Glasgow's handbell arrangement (NDB-0002B). It includes parts for drums and auxiliary percussion (finger cymbal, wood block, and egg shaker) to bring even more authenticity to this great arrangement!
Want to include those great sax solos but don't have an advanced-level bell-tree soloist (or a second set of bells)? No problem! This instrumental pack also includes substitute parts (in octaves) for treble instruments in C, B-flat, and E-flat.
Instrumentation Details:
Drums: straightforward, moderate difficulty, simple kit.
Percussion: finger cymbal (played with triangle beater), wood block (medium-high), egg shaker. Straightforward part for one player, but of course may be split over multiple players.
Substitute Solos: moderately advanced, depending on the instrument. All parts appear in octaves to allow players to choose the most fitting range for the instrument(s) used.
