Product Description
ABBA, the Swedish pop phenomenon, burst
onto the scene in April 1974 by winning the Eurovision Song contest with Waterloo.
To celebrate the 45th anniversary of that occasion, Des Press is
proud to release one of ABBAs later hits, arranged for Oboe
Band by Des McNutty.
Thank You for the
Music featured
on ABBAs
1977 album ABBA: The Album.
These
famous numbers are sure to delight guests at parties, weddings etc. and as a
mood-lifting encore in recital concerts. The level is on the easier side of
"advanced"; quickly rehearsed by professionals and an accessible challenge for
experienced students.
Whenever
practical, these arrangements are in the same tonality as the original. In this
case, the arrangement was written for a group playing modern "Baroque"
instruments, which sound a semitone below todays concert pitch. F major is
also a much nicer key on the oboe.
"Oboe Band" is a formation dating from the
late 17th century.
This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
