This is an arrangement of Sabre Dance from Gayne Ballet Suite. It is arranged as performed by legendary piano showman, Liberace. Now you can learn to play this classic piano solo, in the same flamboyant style as Liberace. Stanley Kubrick's film 2001: A Space Odyssey featured one of the less up-tempo sections of the Gayane third suite (the Adagio). The composer James Horner quoted from this same piece in three of his film scores, Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger and Aliens. The Adagio was also used, among other pieces by Khachaturyan, in Tinto Brass's Caligula. The Sabre Dance features prominently in the 1961 film One, Two, Three directed by Billy Wilder and starring James Cagney, as well as in Woody Allen's 2006 film Scoop. It has also been used in numerous other movies, TV shows, and video games. Because of its feverish tempo, the music has long been a staple of novelty acts such as plate twirling. It is also used as the introductory and promotional theme for the professional hockey team, the Buffalo Sabres.

Composed by George M. Cohan. Arranged by Robert Coil. Broadway,Holiday,Jazz,Musical/Show. Score and parts. 12 pages. Polished Brass #6231635. Published by Polished Brass (A0.961201).

Arranged for trombone quintet, with an eye to sharing the melody and interest among all parts. The range on the first part is to Bb4 above the staff and the bass trombone goes to Bb1 below the staff. This should be within the grasp of a good high school group, and has enough variety to be enjoyed by advanced players. (ASPN pitch notation) Of particular interest for trombonists are the falls and interplay between the melody and the echo parts.

It is hard to find a tune that does a better job of capturing the pride of the Irish than Harrigan. Harrigan was written for the musical Fifty Miles From Boston which opened February 3, 1908 and closed a month later. The song title is a tribute to the Irish-American actor, Edward Harrigan. While the other major songs from the musical are rarely performed, Harrigan found favor with audiences. Born to Irish parents, it shouldn't be surprising that Cohan's lyrics, proud of all the Irish that is in me have a heart-felt ring to them. It didn't hurt that another actor of Irish descent, James Cagney, sang the piece in the very successful production about Cohan, Yankee Doodle Dandy.

The arranger, Bob Coil, is a graduate of the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of music, where he studied bass trombone with Betty Glover. Dr. Coil is the leader of the Bones of Cincinnatus trombone ensemble in Cincinnati, OH.
