Cole Porter was one of the great masters of Broadway musicals during the thirties, forties and fifties, with So in Love, from the musical Kiss Me Kate, being one of his best loved works. It has been recorded by many artists including Bing Crosby, Lulu, Shirley Bassey and Julie Andrews, however it is the Ella Fitzgerald version that is best known. This jazzy musical classic can now be enjoyed by your brass band with this excellent new arrangement.

A concert opener composed for the staff and students of the Blue Coat School, Oldham.
The piece is a bright concert work that is lead by a driving drum kit part. As it was composed for the Blue Coat School, I wanted to create a piece that has a musical connection with the school. Therefore, the piece is centred around the notes B and C and it has even been composed in B flat (concert) or C (transposed) pitch.
From the big impact opening, the band punches out the 2-quaver note motif using the notes B and C. As the piece develops those musical notes are used throughout the various melody lines and rhythmic interjections. Soaring for the Skies is bright and the music is very rhythmic, it has a driving rock drum part and the piece is heavily influenced by modern jazz and funk styles.
This piece is suitable as a concert ‘opener’ or regular concert work and has great energy and fun. I hope you enjoy performing "Soaring the Skies".

This is possibly one of the best-known tunes around the world and is speculated to heard in more motion pictures than any other song. However, if you asked someone to "name that tune", then most would probably struggle. This classic Waltz has mistakenly in the past thought to be Viennese and has frequently thought to be the work of Johann Strauss II. The music is the most famous work of the composer and has long been associated in the US with fair ground rides and trapeze artists. This arrangement of the original work by Chris Gorman makes a perfect classical "Overture" work for your concert program.
