About this arrangement

Horn,Trombone,Trumpet,Tuba - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.746983 Composed by Billy Strayhorn. Arranged by Keith Terrett. Contemporary,Historic,Jazz,Singer/Songwriter. 19 pages. Keith Terrett #5803481. Published by Keith Terrett (A0.746983). A classic Strayhorn piece arranged here for Classical Brass Quintet, signature of the Duke Ellington Orchestra.This arrangement would suit good amateur &amp; pro ensembles due to the tessitura of the horn &amp; trombone parts. The use of the Strayhorn composition as the signature tune was made necessary by a ruling in 1940 by the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP). When ASCAP raised its licensing fees for broadcast use, many ASCAP members, including Ellington, could no longer play their compositions over radio, as most music was played live on radio at the time. Ellington turned to Billy Strayhorn and son&amp;nbsp;Mercer Ellington, who were registered with ASCAP competitor&amp;nbsp;BMI&amp;nbsp;to "write a whole new book for the band," Mercer recalled. "'A' Train" was one of many tunes written by Strayhorn, and was picked to replace "Sepia Panorama" as the band's signature song. Mercer recalled that he found the composition in a trash can after Strayhorn discarded a draft of it because it sounded too much like a&amp;nbsp;Fletcher Henderson&amp;nbsp;arrangement.&amp;nbsp;The song was first recorded on January 15, 1941 as a standard transcription for radio broadcast. The first (and most famous) commercial recording was made on February 15, 1941Delta Rhythm Boys perform "Take the 'A' Train" (1941).The title refers to the then-new&amp;nbsp;A&amp;nbsp;subway service that runs through&amp;nbsp;New York City, going at that time from eastern&amp;nbsp;Brooklyn, on the&amp;nbsp;Fulton Street Line&amp;nbsp;opened in 1936, up into&amp;nbsp;Harlem&amp;nbsp;and northern&amp;nbsp;Manhattan, using the&amp;nbsp;Eighth Avenue Line&amp;nbsp;in Manhattan opened in 1932."Take the 'A' Train" was composed in 1939, after Ellington offered Strayhorn a job in his organization and gave him money to travel from&amp;nbsp;Pittsburgh&amp;nbsp;to New York City. Ellington wrote directions for Strayhorn to get to his house by subway, directions that began, "Take the A Train". Strayhorn was a great fan of Fletcher Henderson's arrangements. "One day, I was thinking about his style, the way he wrote for trumpets, trombones and saxophones, and I thought I would try something like that," Strayhorn recalled in&amp;nbsp;Stanley Dance's&amp;nbsp;The World Of Duke Ellington.Although Strayhorn said he wrote lyrics for it, the recorded first lyrics were composed by, or for, the&amp;nbsp;Delta Rhythm Boys. The lyrics used by the Ellington band were added by&amp;nbsp;Joya Sherrill, who was 20 at the time (1944). She made up the words at her home in&amp;nbsp;Detroit, while the song played on the radio. Her father, a noted Detroit activist, set up a meeting with Ellington. Owing to Joya's remarkable poise and singing ability and her unique take on the song, Ellington hired her as a vocalist and adopted her lyrics. The vocalist who most often performed the song with the Ellington band was trumpeter&amp;nbsp;Ray Nance, who enhanced the lyrics with numerous choruses of&amp;nbsp;scat singing. Nance is also responsible for the trumpet solo on the first recording, which was so well suited for the song that it has often been duplicated note for note by others.The song was performed by Ellington and the band in the 1943 film&amp;nbsp;Reveille with Beverly&amp;nbsp;with vocalist&amp;nbsp;Betty Roche. The band is depicted performing in a railroad passenger car, not a subway car.Based loosely on the chordal structure of "Exactly Like You", the song combines the propulsive swing of the 1940s-era Ellington band with the confident sophistication of Ellington and the black elite who inhabited&amp;nbsp;Sugar Hill&amp;nbsp;in Harlem. The tune is in&amp;nbsp;AABA form, in the&amp;nbsp;key&amp;nbsp;of&amp;nbsp;C, with each section being a lyric&amp;nbsp;couplet. (The Ellington band's version begins in C and rises to&amp;nbsp;th.
