Helen O'Connell

I Can't Believe That You're In Love With Me

This is the original Helen O'Connell version from her 'Here's Helen' album, as recorded with the Marion Evans Orchestra. This chart is not a transcription. The arrangement opens at a slow, bluesy tempo with muted brass over clarinets, and the first vocal chorus maintains the tempo and feel. The chart then kicks into double time for a punchy, up tempo final chorus one step up from the first. The reeds were originally scored for 3 Clarinets (AAT) and 2 Bass Clarinets (TB). However we recognise that having two players doubling Bass Clarinets is not something that many bands will be able to cope with, so we have included alternate sax parts on the reverse of the pages which leave ATTB on saxes, and the lead Alto doubling Clarinet. The vocal key is Eb modulating to F.
