Softly, As In A Morning Sunrise by Artie Shaw. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Medium. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life. JL.LL-1136. One of Artie Shaw's most endearing charts, Softly as a Morning Sunrise was scored as a mid-tempo swing chart for the Shaw band by Jerry Gray, later of Miller fame. We have transcibed the chart and scored it for a full band line-up of 5 reeds & 8 brass. The Saxes are written for Solo Clarinet, 2 Altos and 2 Tenors. The 2nd Tenor takes the solo. written out. and Shaw's solos are also notated in full. Alto 1 and Tenor 1 double Clarinets, and there is an optional Clarinet double on the Alto 2 part. The Trombone solo, also written, is on the 1st part. A good concert piece or equally suitable for dancing, Morning Sunrise will make a fine addition to any library. The brass ranges are moderate and the only tricky bit is the final Clarinet run-up which goes to a high A.Swing @ 155 b. Ranges. Trumpets 1-4. B5, G5, F#5, D#5 Trombones 1-4.
