SKU: JL.LL-1287

By Glen Gray. Edited by Jon Harpin. Arranged by Billy May. Swing. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1287).

Here is a transcription Brahms' Hungarian Dance Number 5, another excellent Billy May chart done for the Casa Loma Orchestra as part of a series of classical works arranged for big band. The chart fairly rips along at 245 beats per minute, and is a high energy piece with plenty of sectional interplay, tonal color and dynamic contrasts. There is a cameo solo for tenor saxophone which is written out in full, but can be improvised if preferred. Lead alto doubles clarinet. Duration: 2 mins 25 secs / Style: Swing @ 245 b.p.m. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: E6, A5, B5, A5Trombones 1-4: Bb4, A4, A4, D4.
