By Nat Cole With N. Riddle Orch. By Mel Torme and Robert Wells. Arranged by Krista Broadway Swider. Classical,Jazz. Score and parts. 5 pages. Krista Swider #743581. Published by Krista Swider (A0.1143220).This time honored classic Christmas song has been covered by many artists., but I wanted to capture the magic that Ray Charles shares with his audience when he performs this piece. This arrangement finds inspiration from the intimacy and personal touch that Charles brings to his orchestration of this piece, with its jazzy piano chords, shimmering strings, and casual vocal line. The violinist carries the vocal line in this duet, and croons the melody with frequent interjections of double stops that compliment the viola's bass line and harmonies. Together, the two instruments create a rich combination of melody and evolving seven chords that bring depth and personality to an instrumentation that is often under utilized. This challenging violin and viola duet is for advanced players who want more from their sheet music!
