A Serenade For Two
A Serenade For Two has been written in the spirit of the music from the 1930s and 40s.
This arrangement has been scored in the romantic style of the Glenn Miller band with its iconic clarinet lead over the saxophone section.
The brass are placed in cup mutes which was a technique often favoured in the big band music of this time.
and there there is a short clarinet solo over the bridge section. This then leads back into the final chorus of the song.
A Serenade for two is ideal for evoking the sound and style of the big bands of the 1930s and 40s.
This piece requires the ensemble to be skilled at using vibrato, dynamic control and section balancing.
Step back in time with this hauntingly beautiful melody from a time of elegance, romance and artistry.
