Love Is Just Around The Corner (D.Wolpe)

Dave Wolpe’s vibrant big band arrangement of the classic jazz standard "Love Is Just Around The Corner" offers a professional-grade, medium-difficulty interpretation perfect for captivating audiences. Composed by Lewis E. Gensler and Leo Robin, this tune originated in the 1934 film "Here Is My Heart" and quickly became a beloved staple of the jazz repertoire. Wolpe’s chart breathes new life into this enduring piece with an energetic and swinging feel, ideal for both professional big bands and advanced scholastic ensembles. The arrangement features a bright, medium-fast tempo, characterized by driving rhythmic patterns in the brass and a supportive, walking bass line. Harmonically, it maintains the standard’s accessible yet sophisticated chord changes, allowing for clear articulation and powerful ensemble voicings. This comprehensive package includes a full score and all 17 instrumental parts: Alto Saxophone 1 & 2, Tenor Saxophone 1 & 2, Baritone Saxophone, Trumpet 1-4, Trombone 1-3, Bass Trombone, Guitar, Piano, Bass, and Drums. Wolpe masterfully crafts dynamic contrasts, moving from full ensemble shouts to more intimate, layered sections.
