By Henry Mancini. By Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer. Arranged by Rita Arendz. 20th Century,Broadway,Film/TV,Instructional,Musical/Show,Pop. 15 pages. Rita Arendz #644234. Published by Rita Arendz (A0.1039285).This popular love song, Moon River written by Henry Mancini for Audrey Hepburn, was initially not an easy task when scoring for the 1962 film “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”. Hepburn was not a trained vocalist, and Paramount wanted to overdub the song. Mancini had to write something that would be comfortable for her range. A month and a half later, he began. Then one-half hour later, the music was finished. Then came the challenge of finding a lyricist. Mancini reached out to Johnny Mercer. And Moon River was born. This arrangement for Brass Quintet (with optional percussion) is a wonderful selection for concerts or weddings. Brass Band instrumentation has been included (Eb Horn, Bb Trombone, and Eb Bass). Trumpet parts can be played on Cornet. Duration ~3:30. 15 pages.
