Item number 8898972CC, $45.00

Women were one of Sousa's favorite subjects, and "The Fairest Of The Fair" fits into this category. Sousa's use of grace and charm are evident in this "concert" rather than "military" march. This piece was composed by Sousa for the Boston Food Fair in 1908, and edited more recently by the esteemed Frederick Fennell. This piece has definitely earned a spot in your band's repertoire.

Estimated Performance Time: 6:00

Technical Notes: Many of the percussion parts are considered new and optional. The only original part is the Drums part. The Snare Drum, Field Drum, and Wood Block are new and optional. The Bass Drum, Cymblas, and Timpani are also considered new and optional. The Condensed Score is divided into two Treble Clef lines and a Bass Clef line. This is then followed by the timpani, snare & field drums, cymbals, and bass drum parts.

Composer(s): This piece was composed by John Philip Sousa.

Publisher: This piece was published by The John Church Company.

Believe it or not, this Benny Goodman classic has never been available for standard big band instrumentation. The original contains solo clarinet and less than a full complement of brass. Arranger Mike Lewis has adapted this classic tune for 5 saxes, 4 trumpets, 4 trombones and a rhythm section. There is nothing new here, but now it is available for all standard big bands. This will be a welcome addition to any jazz library.
