Elevate your big band's repertoire with this authentic Billy May arrangement of George Gershwin's timeless classic, "They Can't Take That Away From Me," famously performed by Frank Sinatra. This 39-page chart meticulously captures May's iconic arranging style, characterized by its sophisticated voicings, lush harmonies, and quintessential swing feel. The arrangement maintains a relaxed, medium tempo, perfect for showcasing the song's enduring melodic beauty without sacrificing rhythmic drive. Expect smooth, flowing lines in the saxophone section, bright and articulate brass passages, and a walking bass line that provides a steady, yet understated, foundation. May's signature use of woodwind doublings and brass mutes contributes to the arrangement's rich textural palette and dynamic contrasts, moving seamlessly between full ensemble statements and more intimate, layered sections. This chart is ideal for both professional big bands seeking to recreate a classic sound and advanced educational ensembles looking to study the nuances of a master arranger.
