If I Gave My Heart is a gorgeous swing ballad for younger bands. Lots of ensemble writing will help the band learn to play together, but there is also space for a short sax soli and a short brass soli. No improv is required, but your piano player gets to shine with lots of written fills between melody phrases. While written at an easy level, If I Gave My Heart is perfect for any ensemble that wants a ballad and a chance to take a little pressure off those chops!! Keep swingin’!

A laid back swinger that has stood the test of time! The written out piano solo and licks take the pressure off your less experienced performer. Very nice!
