What can we say about the Golden Wedding , other than it is a stunning concert vehicle to show off the talents of your Clarinettist, lead trumpet and drummer. It is a classic chart from the Herman band, and in many ways is Hermans' answer to Sing Sing Sing. The music was written in 1887 by Gabriel Marie, originally entitled "La Cinquantaine", and arranged by James Noble in 1940 and re-used for the 1942 Andrews Sisters film "What's Cookin". The Clarinet part is written to reach high A, but we've added a couple of extra measures at the end, in case you player wishes to aim for high C and bring the house down.
