Product Description
Harry Dacre composed "Daisy Bell" in 1892, and it quickly became a big hit. In the years since it has remained popular and has been recorded, parodied and used in movies and television programs numerous times. It is still an audience pleaser, and when performed on a concert, folks almost inevitably hum along.
This version echoes the period in which it was written; the melody is handed off from instrument to instrument and there is just the right amount of ricky-tick. Everyone gets a chance to shine.
This arrangement was completed in 2014, and performance time runs about 2 minutes, 30 seconds.
