About the Song

“Say Something� is an emotional piano ballad that tugs at the heartstrings. Originally penned by indie band A Great Big World, it gained widespread recognition when powerhouse vocalist Christina Aguilera lent her voice to a haunting duet version. Here’s what you need to know:

Origins:

Written by duo members Ian Axel and Chad King, alongside Mike Campbell, the song was initially recorded by Axel for his solo album This Is the New Year (2011). Later, A Great Big World reimagined it for their debut album Is There Anybody Out There? (2013) .

After Aguilera performed the song on The Voice, it skyrocketed to fame. The struggle of giving up on a relationship is beautifully encapsulated in the plea to “say something� and salvage what’s slipping away .

At the 57th Annual Grammy Awards, “Say Something� clinched the coveted Best Pop Duo/Group Performance award, showcasing its impact and emotional resonance .

My Brother Sylvest' also known as Big Strong Man, is an American song, but often performed by English folk singers and Irish bands.

My Brudda Sylvest' was written in 1908, words by Jesse Lasky and Sam Stern, music by Fred Fisher.

The song is written in an Italian-American dialect about the singer's eponymous brother, described in hyperbolic terms as a man of legendary strength capable of extraordinary feats. The original lyric has him blowing out a house fire, pushing the ocean away to allow him to walk to Italy, killing fifty thousand [native American] Indians, and drinking the ocean dry.

Subsequent versions changed the references from the boxer John L. Sullivan to the Jeffries-Johnson fight of 1910, to American boxer Jack Dempsey, who started boxing in 1914, and even to John Conteh of Great Britain, who fought in the 1970s. Other changes have included the saving of the RMS Lusitania, sunk during the first World War, and swimming from New York to Italy, drinking all the water in the sea, playing every instrument in a brass band in a visit to Japan.

FLY ME TO THE MOON by Bart Howard for Brass Band
Written in 1954 by American Jazz composer Bart Howard, Fly Me To the Moon (In Other Words) has become a standard worldwide.  Originally sung by Kaye Ballard, it has been performed by other greats such as Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Diana Krall, and Paul Anka, just to name a few.
It has even crossed into other genres, such as metal rock with a cover by Mike, the Become the Knight, and played on a Gayageum by Luna Lee.
This arrangement is for a British style Brass Band opening in a bel canto ballad style of Tony Bennett, continuing into the Big Band Swing Style of Sinatra, with a little bit of a jazz waltz that Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers would have loved before returning to the Ballad style for the close.
A great crowd-pleaser!

*INSTRUMENTATION: 2 VIOLINS & CELLO*
Written by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul for the feature film The Greatest Showman, A Million Dreams is an exciting anthem in which the young PT Barnum sings to his fiance about his big plans for the future. This catchy song was a huge hit even independently of the movie, and was even covered by singer P!nk for the reimagined version of the soundtrack. The song has also come to be seen as a love ballad, chosen by couples to symbolize their bright future together -- so you can't go wrong having this one in your gig books! Originally written for a wedding ceremony, this Cellobat arrangement for your two-violin and cello string trio will also be perfect for receptions, proposals, pop concerts, solo & ensemble contest, or any other occasion that you need to get your audience singing along. This arrangement is intermediate level overall, but I'm rating it advanced intermediate for some tricky syncopated rhythms in the violin parts that go by quickly; this will be learnable for students and sightreadable for professionals.
