Big band - Medium

SKU: JL.LL-1085

By Tommy Dorsey. Arranged by Myles Collins. Swing. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1085).

This Dorsey classic is another great solo spot for Trombone. Based on a tune by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakoff, the original arrangement was by Tommy Dorsey himself. A well known piece, Song of India was originally scored for just 6 brass. We have augmented the chart to a full section of 8 brass. The Trombone and Trumpet solos are written out in full, though your 2nd Trumpet player can improvise a solo from the chords given. This arrangement sounds like the original article, and includes the Clarinets (Altos 1 and 2) scored in the intro. All dynamics and articulations are given, and these are particularly important to give the chart its correct feel. We have rated this as a Medium difficulty chart, though the 1st Trombone does go to high C.Ranges:Trumpets 1-4 D6, C6, G5, D5 Trombones 1-4 C5, A4, F4, Db4.
