By The Chordettes. By Pat Ballard. Arranged by Vanessa Klassen. Pop. 19 pages. Vanessa Klassen #861559. Published by Vanessa Klassen (A0.1269023)."Mister Sandman" was written by Pat Ballard in 1954. It was recorded by several artists including The Chordettes, whose version this arrangement is based on. The title and lyrics refer to a folklore character, the Sandman, who puts people to sleep and inspires beautiful dreams by sprinkling magical sand onto their eyes. The dream The Chordettes ask for in the song is a potential lover, or "dreamboat."
This arrangement for clarinet quintet has been transposed up a half step to better suit B♭ clarinets. The four voices of The Chordettes are represented in the B♭ clarinet parts with the accompanying upright bass in the bass clarinet part. All accented notes should be played as bell tones. There is also an optional part for tenor saxophone, which adds short jazzy interjections.
