When Your Lover Has Gone

In this arrangement for Ella Fitzgerald, Nelson Riddle was clearly paying hommage to his arrangement of I've Got You Under My Skin recorded in 1956 by Frank Sinatra. This chart shares many of the same melodic figures and overall feel. Sinatra fans will immediately recognize the intro featuring that familiar bass clarinet line with trombones and celeste in the background. This version calls for AATTB saxes (with baritone sax doubling bass clarinet), 4 trumpets, 3 trombones, bass trombone, 3 violins, viola, 3 celli, guitar, celeste/piano, bass, percussion, and drums. A synthesizer part is provided as a substitute for the strings. Vocal Key: Db
