The original Yankee Doodle Dandy, George M. Cohan, was a major figure in the development of Broadway, but his classic tune never sounded so good! Master arranger Carl Strommen uses his creative harmonic language and perfect sense of jazz style to turn this Broadway march into a medium slow swing chart that uses the elements of the modern jazz ensemble to the fullest. The arrangement leads off with the band playing the first chorus in the mezzo piano range which is one of the reasons that this is a terrific selection to follow a loud burner. The saxophones get a good workout in their soli, and there is solo space for tenor saxophone and trumpet. (Written solos are included.).

This musical salute to Broadway is designed for performance by a wide range of ensembles including accomplished middle school to community and professional groups. Styled after a typical Broadway overture, the arrangement covers a variety of styles including lyrical, two-beat, soft-shoe, and a Dixieland-style segment featuring solo clarinet, trumpet, trombone, tuba, and percussion. A grand finale reminiscent of John Phillip Sousa brings this to a rousing conclusion. Exciting!
About FJH Young Band
Appropriate for middle school and smaller high school groups. Second clarinets usually stay below the break. Parts are written with more independence, and instrumentation increases slightly. There is still adequate doubling in the lower voices. Grades 2 - 2.5
