All Through The Night

Originally written by Cole Porter in 1934 for the musical Anything Goes, Ella Fitzgerald and Buddy Bregman created the definitive performance of this tune for the 1956 Cole Porter Song Book album. The arrangement begins with woodwinds on flute, clarinets, and bass clarinet while Ella sings the seldom-heard verse. She's also accompanied by subdued strings during this section. With the arrival of the famous chorus section the arrangement turns to a swing feel with woodwinds on alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones. The one-chorus reading of the tune closes with a recap of the intro (with woodwinds once again doubling). For this publication, optional alternate woodwind parts are included that avoid the need for the doubles. The vocal key is C. This publication was prepared using Buddy Bregman's original pencil score - this is not a transcription.
