About this arrangement

Concert Band - Grade 3 SKU: AP.82361 Composed by Leroy Anderson. Concert Band; MakeMusic Cloud; Performance Music Ensemble; Single Titles. Symphonic Band. Score and Part(s). 158 pages. Alfred Music #00-82361. Published by Alfred Music (AP.82361). UPC: 029156071801. English.At the height of his career in the mid-1930s, Leroy Anderson began arranging for Arthur Fiedler's Boston Pops Orchestra. Later, Fiedler encouraged him to write his own tunes for the Pops. His compositions, more than 50 in number, virtually define the sound of the contemporary American pops orchestra. Blue Tango was a #1 hit in 1951, juxtaposing the charismatic melody over a traditional tango pulse. The work captured the spirit of an era. This new edition was originally arranged by the composer for concert band and has been freshly re-engraved with a full score for the first time, permitting a uniformity of articulation throughout the work. This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.
