Stranger On The Shore by Acker Bilk Piano, Vocal - Digital Sheet Music
By Robert Mellin"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!
