Composer/Author:
DEGADO,J.
Arranged/Written for: Quartet
Instrumentation: 2ATB/alt. Scores
Including Playalong-CD
There are songs that everyone knows. To arrange such a piece means for JOE DEGADO to leave trodden paths, not to fulfill expectations. Surprise effects are certainly just as suitable as new sounds and interpretations. The tune begins traditionally in almost classical composition. The repetition of the theme is then enriched by sounds of the 19th and 20th centuries and humorous interpretations in the second voice, which one would certainly not expect and hopefully contribute to a certain irritation of the listener. And when the topic comes up in Medium Swing, it is clear that the night is not just made for sleeping. In addition to the 2ATB parts, the single voice set also contains the first voice in C and Bb, as well as the 4th voice for trombone.
