ARRANGER’S NOTES 

This beautifully poignant Barbara Streisand song was arranged especially for comet soloist Kirsty Abbotts for performance with the Canton Main Frickley Colliery Band at the Brass in Concert competition 2013. Kirsty received the best soloist award (and best principal cornet) performing this arrangement and the piece was again featured in Canton Main’s 2014 Butlins entertainment programme.

The arrangement features a quintet of Flugel, Solo Horn, Solo Baritone, Euphonium and Eb Bass and works well with the quintet standing behind the soloist in a horseshoe shape to the side of the band (and is particularly effective played from memory!). The melody and accompaniments should ideally exploit the rubato nature of the song and the soloist is recommended to seek out the original song and it’s lyrics.
