Artie Shaw

Indian Love Call

This version of Indian Love Call is a variation on the vocal version that we offer and is a Clarinet feature. (Please see the Vocals section for a fuller description). The structure is the same as the Vocal, ie true to Shaw's original, except that we have changed the Vocal Chorus to an ad-lib Clarinet solo, and have written some punchy yet supportive backings coming from the band. After the opening Drum & Clarinet solo passage, the band is still scored with the falsetto singing ('Chip Chip'), so no excuses for the brass not to get involved. The Saxes are scored for solo Clarinet, 2 Altos and 2 Tenors. All the Saxes double Clarinets (mainly unison passages) though it won't really matter if the Alto2 (your Bari player) doesn't play any Clari parts. We have scored his lines as the lowest voice in the harmonised Clari passages.
