By Taylor Swift. By Taylor Swift. Arranged by Gary D. Belshaw (ASCAP). Pop. 37 pages. DR GARY D BELSHAW #3050781. Published by DR GARY D BELSHAW (A0.796615).2017 Chamber Music Contest Entry. A Pop! Seriously! arrangement from Gary D. Belshaw Music. Duration: about four and one-half minutes. 37 pages, including a sample part page (delete before printing) and blank pages to facilitate 2-sided printing. As simple as may seem, this hit from Taylor Swift's 2010 album, Speak Now, makes for some awesome interaction among the five horns. Because it rocks even without a rhythm section, this will be a real audience-pleaser, even with those who may not know Taylor Swift's music at all. With some 20th-Century chromatic inflection in the second verse, this quintet is a pastiche of popular music styled in a (semi-) serious medium. Its the perfect recruiting tool for your institution or studio. Suitable, of course, for recital or social event repertoire. With the right sermon or Sunday theme, it could even be useful in church.
Make the most of the contrasting articulations and phrasing. Consider approaching the 20th-Century stylings with an emphasis on accurately playing the "zero-cents sweet spot" on each player's horn.
