This jazz ensemble arrangement of 'Send in the Clowns' is a vocal coach's delight. The key of Eb is comfortable for many vocal ranges, and the accompaniment texture is supportive and lush without overpowering the soloist. The piano part, while part of the larger ensemble, thoughtfully enhances the overall harmonic structure, allowing the vocalist to truly shine on this Sondheim masterpiece.

This Grade 4 arrangement of 'Send in the Clowns' is fantastic for developing ensemble skills in advanced high school or college students. The Jerry Nowak arrangement is tasteful, offering rich harmonic and rhythmic challenges. The clear engraving ensures easy readability, making it ideal for teaching complex jazz phrasing and blend within a vocal solo setting. Highly recommend for school and community groups.

A solid, playable arrangement of 'Send in the Clowns' in Eb. Jerry Nowak's charts are always dependable for gigs, and this vocal solo/jazz ensemble piece is no exception. The parts are well-laid out, and the instrumentation is standard, making it easy to put together quickly. Essential for any jazz vocalist's book, especially for requests at events.

I absolutely love Stephen Sondheim, and playing 'Send in the Clowns' from 'A Little Night Music' with a full jazz ensemble is a dream! The Grade 4 difficulty is a challenging but very rewarding step for me as an adult learner. The arrangement captures the beautiful, sensitive essence of the song perfectly. It's so enjoyable to play and truly sounds like the professional recordings.
