Annie Laurie

Annie Laurie

$80

This is a killer arrangement of an old Scottish song that is full of meat and potato ensemble work. Beware the aggressive brass solos though: Solo trumpet plays up to a high F at the end, and they’ll need to pull off the Paul Webster fireworks before then (the exact solo is written out but optional). You’ll also need a lead trombonist to blast his way up to a HIGH F.

(Severals years after transcribing this, I studied the Sy Oliver Papers collection at the New York Public Library. After checking my transcriptions of several of Oliver’s arrangements (including Annie Laurie) with Sy Oliver’s original hand written scores, I happily discovered that I was consistently accurate!)
