Product Description

"I Am What I Am" is a song written by Jerry Herman for the Broadway musical 'La Cage Aux Folles' (1983). Based on the 1973 French play of the same name, the show tells the story of a gay couple, Georges, the manager of a Saint-Tropez nightclub featuring drag entertainment, and Albin, his romantic partner and star attraction; farcical adventures ensue when household dynamics intersect with an ultra-conservative politician. 'La Cage' broke barriers for gay representation by becoming the first hit Broadway musical centered on a homosexual relationship. The show's act one finale "I Am What I Am" received praise as a "gay anthem" and has been widely recorded. This version for advanced jazz ensemble provides a perfect vehicle for your star vocalist, opening in B major, but then quickly climbing up to end in a triumphant E flat. Alto Sax 1 doubles Flute and Tenor Sax 1 is on Clarinet throughout.
