This clever and unique arrangement of the well known "Do-Re-Mi" distinguishes itself from others in numerous ways, and is certain to captivate performers and audience members alike. Not merely a transcription from the score, the arranger strove to make the work idiomatic to the clarinet quartet, and included the "do-mi-mi -- mi-sol-sol..." strain absent from most other instrumental arrangements. Each voice is featured, and the accompaniment varies from the mundane barrage of downbeats and afterbeats so often mechanically transcribed in other arrangements. The arranger has above all striven to encapsulate the joy and elation he felt many years ago when he was responsible for "la" while portraying Friedrich Von Trapp in a theatrical production. This arrangement can be inserted between Professor Hays' arrangements of "The Sound of Music," "My Favorite Things," and "Climb Ev'ry Mountain" to create a performance suite.

This delightful arrangement exudes the wit and charm of one of Rodgers and Hammerstein's most endearing works. It can be performed with Professor Hays' arrangements of The Sound of Music, My Favorite Things, Edelweiss, Do-Re-Mi, Maria, Something Good, and Climb Ev'ry Mountain to form a SOUND OF MUSIC Suite. https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/search?Ntt=ralph+Raymond+hays+woodwind+quintet+sound+of+music
