Product Description

===
Do you have a good singer nearby? Here's a great arrangement of an extremely tongue-in-cheek song by Ira and George Gershwin. Perfect for summer concerts.

By Strauss pays tribute to the music of the waltz kings: Johann Strauss Jr. and Sr. The singer describes their dislike of Broadway composers (including George Gershwin), and that they would rather dance to Strauss waltzes, referencing the blue Danube and Die Fledermaus. It was featured in the 1951 movie An American in Paris, performed by Gene Kelly, Georges Guétary, and Oscar Levant.

Instrumentation is for Soprano Solo with a standard brass quintet of Two Bb Trumpets, Horn in F, Trombone and Tuba.

Playing time is about 2:10
