Description
Puttin’ On The Ritz by Irving Berlin ♫ Vocalist + Septet, arranged by Rich Willey.
Fun, funky and jazzy arrangement of this 1929 blockbuster. in the key of F minor starting with an instrumental intro (verse) and followed by a full ensemble rendition of melody before the vocal chorus.
Open for solos followed by full ensemble “soli” chorus. After soli section there is a 15-bar “fugue” for the horns followed by a totally different arrangement of the melody for the out-chorus.
Arranged to be played at ♩ = 180, this arrangement is flexible, allowing for vocal chorus(es) and multiple solo choruses. Total arrangement length is 165 bars, difficulty level is intermediate to advanced. This is practically an epic arrangement that’s a tried and true crowd-pleaser.
