For Woodwind Quintet
Delight your audiences with this iconic "Overture" from the Frank Loesser musical and movie Guys and Dolls. This arrangement is a digital download for an advanced-intermediate woodwind quintet, perfect for Pops concerts, weddings, special events, movie-themed nights, Broadway-themed concerts, background dinner music gigs, or Americana concerts. It was written for groups ranging from amateur quintets to college ensembles and professional quintets. As always, I have included an alternate bass clarinet part in lieu of a missing bassoon.
This charming arrangement is packed full of famous songs like the romantic duet, "I've Never Been in Love Before," the fast-paced comic duet "Sue Me," the popular and iconic "Fugue for Three Tin Horns," the beautiful ballad "I'll Know," the hilarious "Adelaide's Lament," the bright and jazzy, "If I Were a Bell," the dynamic "Luck Be a Lady," the iconic four-part harmony of "The Oldest Established," the revival-esque "Sit Down You're Rockin' the Boat" and of course, the jazz-infused title song, "Guys and Dolls." Rarely has a Broadway show produced so many hits in one musical.
