If I Should Lose You (M.Abene)

“If I Should Lose You (M.Abene)” is a big band arrangement by Michael Abene of a composition by Ralph Rainger. The catalog record identifies the work for Big Band and lists the difficulty as medium, making that classification the primary preparation reference for musicians and directors reviewing the chart. No style is specified in the available metadata, so the arrangement is best approached through its documented instrumentation rather than an assumed genre or performance tradition. The listed materials cover 16 instruments or parts: Alto Saxophone 1, Alto Saxophone 2, Tenor Saxophone 1, Tenor Saxophone 2, Baritone Saxophone, Trumpets 1–4, Trombones 1–3, Piano, Guitar, Bass, and Drum Set. Individual parts are confirmed. The catalog record lists 44 pages. A conductor score is not confirmed, so that item should not be treated as part of the documented contents. For working ensembles, the instrumentation provides a clear personnel reference across the saxophone, trumpet, trombone, and rhythm sections. Directors can use the medium difficulty designation alongside the 44-page length when assessing rehearsal and programming requirements. Players should verify the specific part assigned to them against the listed instrumentation, particularly where numbered saxophone, trumpet, and trombone parts are involved.
