This has been transcribed from Glenn Miller's October 1940 New York recording. Bill Finegan did the original arrangement and it was sung by Ray Eberle. This lush chart is classic Miller, full of tonal color and rich dynamics. The reeds are scored CAATT, with all saxes called upon to double clarinets. Tenor 2 also has a short bass clarinet line underneath the trombones, but this can be played as written on tenor. The Tex Beneke solo is written out in full too. The vocal key is Eb. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: C6, G5, F5, D5 Trombones 1-4: G4, Eb4, C4, Bb3 Vocal Key: Eb Range Vocal Bb2 to Eb4 (11 steps, as sung). |
