Winter Wonderland
This chart has been transcribed and adapted from the Frank DeVol arrangement written for Ella Fitzgerald's 1960 album "Ella Wishes You a Swinging Christmas." Removed are much of the orchestral woodwinds and the chart has been re-scored to suit standard big band instrumentation. Alto 1 is written to double on flute, however, the reed parts are printed double sided, with the reverse of the parts scored for a regular AATTB section without a flute double. As the voicings are slightly different, please have your players use the same version. Overall, this is an easy chart to play with very moderate trumpet ranges: lead trumpet to F (top line of the staff) though lead trombone has to reach to B-flat. The vocal part is scored as sung by Ella, and the vocal key is A-flat. A wonderful addition to holiday concerts.
