SKU: A0.1636258

By Duke Ellington. By Duke Ellington and Irving Mills. Arranged by Stephen W. Burch (ASCAP). This edition: audio, pdf, streaming. 20th Century, Jazz. 20 pages. BurchMusic #1204121. Published by BurchMusic (A0.1636258).

This is an arrangement for advanced string quartet of that great Duke Ellington song. If your violist is a jazz person they will dig it, because there is an entire verse (jazz terminology: “chorus”) for an ad lib solo for the viola. In the video and mp3 there is no jazz solo written out – it’s just the melody, so the violist can either just play the melody (boring?) or take improvisatory flight.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard’s global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
