Henry Mancini

Too Little Time

This is a big, big Trombone feature and is a must for any library. The tune was used as the incidental music to the film 'The Glenn Miller Story'. Ernie Barnard has produced a fabulously lush and rich piece of work that just makes the hair on your neck stand up. Equally suitable for dancing, or as a concert piece, this arrangement shows the instrument at its best. After a cadenza style intro, the trombone takes the entire first chorus with only rhythm backing. Miller-voiced saxes pick it up from there, with the whole piece building little by little to a tutti key change, with the solo trombone backing, and then taking the lead, to a final cadenza flourish to finish. Stunning.
