By Acker Bilk. By Acker Bilk and Robert Mellin. Arranged by Dave Gingras and John E. Dosher. Broadway,Jazz,Musical/Show. Score. 2 pages. DAVID LEE GINGRAS #809086. Published by DAVID LEE GINGRAS (A0.1211477)."Stranger on the Shore" is a piece for clarinet written by Acker Bilk for his young daughter and originally named "Jenny" after her. The tune was written on a single scrap of paper by Bilk and handed over to Leon Young (1916-1991) who crafted the string arrangement, including the characteristic harmonic shifts at the very end.
It was first released in 1961 in the UK, and then in the US, and reached number 1 in the US and number 2 in the UK. This version features a root-based chord blocking that John and I have used in a number of our arrangements. We also added some pretty cool left-hand fills for your listening (playing?) pleasure - we hope you like what we've done to make this arrangement unique!
