Tin Pan Alley master composer Jean Schwartz' hit song "Rock-a-Bye Your Baby With A Dixie Melody" became an instant classic, wonderfully interpreted in numerous styles. Our arrangement for brass quintet sticks close to Schwartz' originally published piano and vocal sheet music and is envisioned to be played with straight eighth notes, but the piece can easily be played at a slower tempo with swung eighths. Includes world parts (horn in Eb, trombone in Bb TC, tuba in Eb TC, and tuba in Bb TC). Performance time is approximately 2:45.

Tin Pan Alley composer Jean Schwartz' "Hello Central, Give Me No Man's Land" was written toward the end of World War I (in 1918). A change from the usually optimistic patriotism of wartime Tin Pan Alley songs, this one is very wistful, almost bleak. The lyrics of the original depict a young girl trying to put a call through to her father in no man's land. In an informal concert setting, this song presents a nice contrast with circus march, Dixieland, or other upbeat music. Arranged for brass quintet (two Bb trumpets, French horn, trombone, and tuba). Performance time is approximately 2:50. Visit our website, www.tootsuitebrasspublishing.com, for a catalog of our arrangements available through sheetmusicplus.com.
