You’ve Been Warne’d was composed for the Oxted Band in memory of one of their players David Warne.Section: 3+
Paul Lovatt-Cooper writes : "One of David’s favourite styles of music was swing music and in particular big bands. With this piece, I have composed it in a big band swing style with the sole intention when performing it – to have a lot of fun!
There is opportunities for various soloists to play their respective solos stood up and facing the audience. There is finger clicking and clapping throughout the piece and there is even an opportunity for all the band to sing. With a catchy hook line and walking bass this piece should provide plenty of musical enjoyment for both player and audience member."
