This Dorsey classic as a great solo spot for Trombone. Based on a tune by Rimsky-Korsakov, the original arrangement was by Dorsey himeself. A well know piece, Song of india was originally scored for just 6 brass. This transcription has been augmented to a full section of 8 brass. The Trombone and Trumpet solos are written out in full, though your 2nd Trumpet player can improvise a solo from the chords given. This arrangement sounds like the original article, and includes the Clarinets (Altos 1 and 2) scored in the intro. Ally dynaics and articulations are given, and these are particularly important to give the chart its correct feel. Duration 3'10' Grade: Medium (thought 1st Trombone does go to high C)
