Description:
AS RECORDED BY FRANK SINATRA
ARRANGED BY NELSON RIDDLE, TRANSCRIBED AND ADAPTED BY WALT STUART
Late in 1955 and early in 1956 Frank Sinatra went into the Capitol Studio with Nelson Riddle and recorded one of the best and most famous albums of all-time: 'Songs for Swingin' Lovers.' We are very proud to offer the chart 'Too Marvelous for Words' from this classic record.
This definitive version is a very famous chart crafted by the brilliant arranger Nelson Riddle. Instantly recognizable from the first few notes. This has been adapted to suit a big band lineup of 5 saxes (see the double info below), 4 trumpets, 4 trombones, guitar, piano, bass, drums, and vocals. The vocal key is F.
Doubles:
- Altos 1 & 2 double on Flute
- Tenors 1 & 2 double on Clarinet
On the reverse side of the above parts we have included alternate parts that do not require doubles.
Ranges:
- Trumpet 1: to high C
- Trombone 1: to high A
- Vocal Key: F
