SONG OF INDIA

AS PERFORMED BY TOMMY DORSEY

ARRANGED BY MYLES COLLINS

This Dorsey classic is another great solo spot for Trombone. Based on a tune by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakoff, the original arrangement was by Tommy Dorsey himself. A well known piece, Song of India was originally scored for just 6 brass. We have augmented the chart to a full section of 8 brass. The Trombone and Trumpet solos are written out in full, though your 2nd Trumpet player can improvise a solo from the chords given. This arrangement sounds like the original article, and includes the Clarinets (Altos 1 and 2) scored in the intro. All dynamics and articulations are given, and these are particularly important to give the chart its correct feel. We have rated this as a Medium difficulty chart, though the 1st Trombone does go to high C.
