By Dick Hyman. By Harold Arlen and Ted Koehler. Arranged by Robert Whitehead. This edition: pdf. Broadway, Musical/Show. 17 pages. Gazebo Music #1374423. Published by Gazebo Music (A0.1814352).This brass quintet arrangement of I’ve Got the World on a String is a stylish, swinging take on the Harold Arlen classic, designed as a true ensemble showcase. Rather than centering on a single lead voice, the arrangement features all five instruments, giving each player a chance to step forward while keeping the groove moving.
The melody and featured material are passed fluidly through the quintet, with smart call-and-response, tight backgrounds, and colorful jazz harmonies that feel natural in a chamber brass setting. The horn and trombone shine in expressive middle-register lines, the tuba provides a walking, melodic foundation, and the trumpets add sparkle and bite without dominating the texture.
The writing is idiomatic, rhythmically crisp, and satisfying to play, rewarding strong time feel, clean articulation, and good ensemble balance. It’s well suited for advanced high school, collegiate, or professional quintets and works especially well as a concert feature or swing-style crowd favorite.
Confident, hip, and fully collaborative — this is I’ve Got the World on a String as a brass quintet chart where everyone gets their moment in the spotlight.
