A quick
reference guide for stage band and dance
band arrangers. It contains notes on
ranges, registers, and characteristics of
instruments most often associated with
stage and dance bands. It includes a
comprehensive section on Latin instrument
rhythm patterns and a basic chord chart.
Musicians new to arranging will find it
to be an invaluable reference.
Experienced arrangers will find
themselves referring to it more often
than they might imagine. |

Another one of those take-offs of
a "Platters'" hit. This one is definitely better. The
trumpet and alto trade the lead back and forth and
while all of this beautiful music is being played, the
bari or bone is playing a very melodious counter
melody. Whew!! For: Alto, bari or bone, trumpet and rhythm. You can have a tenor part if you like. |

I love this arrangement! Features either 3 or 4 horns (alto, tenor, trumpet--and you can add a bone) plus rhythm. Lots of really neat syncopation and in the 2nd chorus for the first 16 bars there is just 3 horn syncopated rhythm with no melody being played and then back to the melody with harmonies. This one also has one of the better bass parts. The "R" arranger's musical philosophy is that the bass
should be more than just a bass line it should participate in the
heart and soul of the chart. |

Written for for alto, tenor, bari, 2 trumpets, 1 bone (plus an optional 2ns bone), keyboard/piano, guitar, bass and drums. It is meant to feature the keyboard using a Hammond organ sound, but a piano could be used if necessary. It is a cha cha in the Prez Prado style, but without the screaming trumpets. Highest note for 1st trumpet is Ab, one line above the staff.
In Db |

Rag (1916)
Sax Quartet |
Saxophone Quartet. This is one of Joseph Lamb's most lyrical pieces. It is full of intricate but gentle syncopation. The theme for the third section spans over 2 octaves, and gets passes
from the bari all the way to the soprano. The final section features a "walking bari" line.
Scored for SATB or AATB. Keys: Eb/Ab SAMPLE

| 752-M |
Paramount
Rag (1917)
Sax Quartet |
Saxophone
Quartet. This rag is a relay race (but don't play it too fast!
The early rags weren't meant to be played fast). In the first 2 sections, "the baton" is often handed off between at least 3 players, usually in "sprints" of just 1 measure. In the 3rd section the tenor and
alto are more "long distance runners" with each getting 4 bars before passing the melody off. The "marathon" soprano (or lead) gets the home stretch. Scored for SATB or AATB.
Keys: Ab/Db

Pennsylvania Polka |
An "-O" arrangement. This will be a crowd pleaser that is known by almost everyone. It can be played at almost any spot on your concert, but would probably be most effective as an encore…the audience will not be able to get it out of their mind.. It is cross-scored so that you'll have a full, concert band sound, regardless of the size or instrumentation of your band. "Strike up the music, the band has begun..." |

All alto lead on this one with a lot of fantastic harmonies in the horns. A really great bass part and a very nice syncopated rhythm guitar make this work. A little swing, a little jazz and a whole lot of fun. This one can prove that your group is not just a bunch of pretty faces. For alto, tenor, optional bone or bari (if you wish), trumpet, piano and rhythm. There are a lot of short back and forth modulations in this chart so the arranger chose to just write the notes with accidentals and leave out the changes. More fluid that way.
Great fun! |

Saxophone Quartet…Unlike many rags that modulate to the subdominant for the second half of the piece, this rag switches back and forth between F minor and

Editor: Every once in a while an arranger will do a chart that just comes out better than you had imagined it would. This is one of those as far as I am concerned. My personal opinion...Of course!
SAMPLE |
| 876-BB |
Redwing |
A "-D" arrangement. Same as above--only scored for big-band 5/4/4/3. It is a 1940s style swing with easy to moderate difficulty---more easy than moderate.

Sax Quartet |
Saxophone Quartet-- Clarence Woods described his piece as “a decided novelty and should be played SLOW and SOFT. Particular attention should be paid to the sustained notes and tremolos. They can be made to ‘stand out’ without forcing them.” Scored for SATB or AATB. Bass Sax can replace Bari.

Smoke Gets In Your Eyes |
If you liked the original Platters' version you will like this one.
If you don't remember the Platters you will still like
it. Has a very nice rhythm part and great harmonies among the 3 horns. The bari or bone starts out with the lead and then it goes to the alto and trumpet with the other horns comping. The middle chorus can be used as a vocal or for solos. Alto, bari or bone, trumpet, and rhythm.
Ed: All of the "R" charts have very nice rhythm parts. (Rhythm being piano, bass and sometimes guitar. We don't do drum parts for combo arrangements.) |

Stardust
String Quartet |
String Quartet. Hoagy Carmichael never did it as a string quartet piece, but he would
certainly approve of this fine arrangement of his now classic swing tune. A real favorite with the grandparents (and everyone else) at wedding receptions and is also great for dinner gigs, and just about anything else you want to imagine.
SAMPLE |
| 753-D |
Stardust |
This
arrangement was custom ordered and the description is from the arranger: This
piece may take a bit of practice. I left it in the original key (Db) so I could write the Billy Butterfield solo
from the record for the trumpet player. I cued some alternate notes in one place where Butterfield played an Eb above high C. There are also a couple of tricky sax passages, but the tempo is slow so they should be manageable. The arrangement is in the style of Artie Shaw, but not an exact copy of the record. The key changes to Eb after the first chorus trumpet solo and then there are solos for tenor and trombone and a final trumpet solo at the end.
Written for an octet (but an optional 2nd trumpet part
is available. SAMPLE |
| 886-BB |
Stardust |
A "-D" arrangement. This chart begins with a trumpet solo in Db. The Billy Butterfield solo from the Artie Shaw recording is cued in case the trumpet player wants to use it. The key changes to Eb after the trumpet solo, and then there are solos for tenor sax and trombone. The chart is for big-band (5,4,4,3) and in the Artie Shaw style, but not an exact copy of the record.
Note from the arranger: I haven't described this as being a big-band version of 753-D because there are a couple of major differences. The biggest difference is the last chorus. It is all ensemble, not ending with a trumpet solo like 753-D.

(The)
Star Spangled Banner |
An
"-F" arrangement. For a concert band with optional vocal solo. Not your normal version…Anyone looking for four-part forte will be disappointed. However, if your band is looking for a new, more challenging, exciting, and musical version of the National Anthem, this piece is ideal. The arrangement treats the lyrics as poetry and accompanies them as such, creating a tone poem effect. A 16 bar intro is optional. It was originally written with a vocalist, but cues are included for a purely instrumental version. Not technically challenging, but it mixes 3/4 and 4/4 measures together. Percussion is for snare, bass, cymbals, glockenspiel, and 3-4 pedal timpani.

Dixieland. I have been told
by some New Orleans Dixie groups that this piece should hold much more importance than "When the Saints" as a New Orleans style Traditional Jazz chart. I think I will stay out of that argument. This arrangement is better than most and uses a moderate strut tempo and strut style. Enjoy!!
