Product Description
A prolific composer, Albert Von Tilzer produced numerous popular songs from 1900 right on through the early fifties. Some are still played today, including this one, which he composed for the 1910 Broadway show, Madame Sherry.
This version, arranged for brass quintet with plenty of razzmatazz, preserves and enhances the contrast between the rarely heard verse, lyrical and dreamy, and the familiar chorus, brassy and chromatic. Most of the melody is carried by an interplay, almost a call-and-response, between trumpet and trombone. Nonetheless, by the end everyone has been featured.
This arrangement was completed in 2013, and performance time runs about 2 minutes, 38 seconds. You may contact the arranger, Les Smith, at lessmith@ufl.edu. If you like this novelty number, be sure to check out Sweetwater's
