The Bare Necessities

The Bare Necessities

Series: Young Concert Band Format: Softcover Score & Parts Composer: Terry Gilkyson Arranger: Paul Murtha

Level: 3

First heard in the original 1967 movie, this familiar tune is featured again in the blockbuster 2016 version. In this clever arrangement for band, Paul Murtha uses a peppy 2-beat style and starts out with the trombones on the melody. Every section of the band gets into the act, however, including a solo or soli for tuba, and a brief slower section for a Dixieland combo leading to the rousing finish. A guaranteed highlight on any concert.
