Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Swing - Medium

Publisher: Kendor Music

First released in 1954, this setting of the 19th-century folk song popularized by Glenn Miller in 1939 begins with an 8-bar marcato intro before settling into the familiar swing groove. The thematic build is gradual and dramatic — saxes alone, then saxes with trombones, then saxes, trombones and trumpets together — and the finishing shout is loud and strong. All rhythm section parts are fully notated, brass ranges are very accessible, and no improvisation is required. Duration 2:05
