La chanteuse Alison Moyet est repérée au début des années 1980 par Vince Clarke alors à la recherche d?une plus grande indépendance : il a quitté son célèbre groupe Depeche Mode. La voix mélancolique d?Alison Moyet et la musique pop électronique innovante de Vince Clarke s?unissent au sein du groupe Yazoo dont des chansons comme Only You et Don?t Go rencontrent un vif succès. Quelques années après Alison Moyet décide néanmoins de suivre son propre chemin et se lance dans une carrière solo au cours de laquelle elle développe un style plus conventionnel. Elle enregistre plusieurs reprises telles que The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face et That Ole Devil CalledLove mais compose aussi de superbes titres tels que Love Resurrection et bien entendu All Cried Out une chanson particulièrement expressive. L?arrangement de Peter Kleine Schaars reste très fidèle à l?ambiance de la chanson d?origine.

Fun for all!! The chorale style opening soon turns into a rousing funky-jazzy-gospel riff-style roof-raiser that will have your audience tapping along. It's nice for the concert band to get the opportunity to play something 'jazzy' once in a while and you know the audience will love it as much as the band does.Plenty of opportunity to study jazz-style phrasing in the concert band interesting Percussion parts a catchy tune and good linear motion for all move GETTIN' GOSPEL to the 'top of the list'. The only danger here is that the band might like it a little TOO much and want to play it every day.

Whereas ‘Auld Lang Syne’ may be considered the best-known Scottish song ever yet at the same time it is an obscure one for there are but few people who know the complete text by heart. After the familiar ‘Should auld acquaintance be forgot .....‘ many people take their refuge to lyrics like ‘rum tee dum ta dee ..... lah lah lah ........... for auld lang syne’. Even in Scotland only a handful of persons know the entire text and are able to give a correct rendering of it. The current lyrics have been attributed to the Scottish poet Robert Burns. Burns however he did not write the whole poem : after he had heard an old man sing the centuries-old Scotchballad he wrote it down and added a number of stanzas (1788). Historical research teaches us that the ballad served many purposes both political and religious. Nowadays ‘Auld Lang Syne’ is sung as a Christmas Carol and it is also sung on New Year’s Eve at the turning of the year. Apart from that though the song is also sung on many other occasions – sometimes with different lyrics which usually have Love Friendship and/or Parting as their themes as these go well with the fascinating melody. In this arrangement a low-sounding solo instrument is central. The harmonization in the accompaniment fits in perfectly with the sentiments this song will evoke. Should auld acquaintance be forgot And never brought to mind? Should auld acquintance be forgot. And days of auld lang syne? For auld lang syne my dear For auld lang syne We’ll take a cup of kindness yet For auld lang syne.
