Stand By Me

Flute,Instrumental Duet,Viola - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.589445 By Ben E. King. By Ben E. King, Jerry Leiber, and Mike Stoller. Arranged by David McKeown. Pop. 4 pages. David McKeown #6070231. Published by David McKeown (A0.589445). Stand by Me was originally released by the co-writerÂ Ben E KingÂ in 1960 and is the sixth highest royalty earning song of all time. Â However,Â KingÂ never intended to record the song himself. The story goes he had some studio time left over after a session and the producer asked him if he had any other songs they could put on tape. WhenÂ KingÂ sat at the piano and performedÂ Stand by Me,Â the producer recognised a huge hit in the making. This version is arranged as a duet forÂ one Flute and one Viola. Musicians at anÂ intermediateÂ level and above will find this ideal for formal and informal performances. The overall performance time is around three minutes.Â Teachers will enjoy using this arrangement as a fun way to help with ensemble skills and expressive playing. There are some complex syncopated rhythms in the melody part and the challenge will be to tie these expressively to the repeating bass pattern which is present throughout. The short sample audio is from theÂ ClarinetÂ and Alto SaxophoneÂ version while the full length youtube performance is theÂ FluteÂ Duet.
