Published by Robert Chamberlin (A0.1139587). This work was composed originally to be performed by two performers--soprano voice doubling on tuba and piano. I composed it for a vocal performance major at Webster University in St. Louis, Missouri who could also play tuba. The attached recording is her performance of the piece. Since there aren't many performers who can sing soprano and play the tuba, the piece can also be done with three performers. The piece begins with a play on the opening motive from Mozart's Tuba Mirum. That motive also ends the piece.

Cello,Double Bass,Drums,Viola,Violin - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.746789 By Henry Mancini. By Henry Mancini. Arranged by Keith Terrett. Jazz. 12 pages. Keith Terrett #3530209. Published by Keith Terrett (A0.746789). An arrangement of Moon River for String Orchestra and optional drum kit. Moon River is a song composed by Henry Mancini with lyrics by Johnny Mercer. It was originally performed by Audrey Hepburn in the 1961 American movie Breakfast at Tiffany's, winning an Academy Award for Best Original Song.The song also won the 1962 Grammy Awards for Record of the Year and Song of the Year. 「ムーンリ�ー���ヘンリー・マンシーニ�作曲��ジョニー・マーサー�歌詞を書��曲��。も�も��1961年�アメリカ映画「ティファニー��食を��オードリー・ヘプ�ーン�歌��アカデミー賞�歌曲賞を�賞����。���1962年�グラミー賞�最優秀レコード賞�最優秀楽曲賞も�賞����。 It became the theme song for Andy Williams, who first recorded it in 1961 and performed it at the Academy Awards ceremony in 1962. He sang the first eight bars of the song at the beginning of each episode of his eponymous television show and named his production company and venue in Branson, Missouri after it. His autobiography is called Moon River and Me. Williams' version was never released as a single, but it charted as an LP track that he recorded for Columbia on a hit album of 1962. Cadence Records' president Archie Bleyer disliked Williams' version, as Bleyer believed it had little or no appeal to teenagers. Forty years later in 2002, a 74-year-old Williams sang the song at the conclusion of the live telecast of the NBC 75th Anniversary Special to a standing ovation. The song's success was responsible for relaunching Mercer's career as a songwriter, which had stalled in the mid-1950s because rock and roll had replaced jazz standards as the popular music of the time. The song's popularity is such that it has been used as a test sample in a study on people's memories of popular songs. Comments about the lyrics have noted that they are particularly reminiscent of Mercer's youth in the Southern United States and his longing to expand his horizons. Robert Wright wrote in The Atlantic Monthly, This is a love sung to wanderlust. Or a romantic song in which the romantic partner is the idea of romance. An inlet near Savannah, Georgia, Johnny Mercer's hometown, was named Moon River in honor of him and this song.
