Excellent Arrangement for Developing Bands
This Grade 2 arrangement of 'In the Mood' is fantastic for our middle school concert band. Paul Murtha's adaptation features the saxes beautifully in unison on the melody, making it a great learning piece. The modest ranges for all players are a huge plus, ensuring accessibility while still delivering that authentic big band sound. Highly recommend for school ensembles!

Solid, Playable Concert Band Chart
As a saxophonist playing with a community band, this 'In the Mood' arrangement is a winner. The 'Sax Feature' is well-written, giving our section a fun, prominent role without being overly challenging. It's Grade 2, so it comes together quickly for gigs, and the modest ranges mean less rehearsal time. Sounds genuinely like the classic!

Pure Fun for Our Community Band!
Our adult community band absolutely loved playing 'In the Mood.' This Paul Murtha arrangement of the Glenn Miller favorite is perfect – it's Grade 2, so very achievable for us weekend players, but still sounds incredibly authentic. It's such a joy to play a classic that sounds so good without needing professional skill. A real crowd-pleaser!

Clever Voicings for a Grade 2 Band
While not a piano score, evaluating this concert band arrangement, Paul Murtha has done a great job. The 'saxes in unison on the melody' create a strong lead voice, and the 'modest ranges for all players' ensure solid ensemble texture for a Grade 2 group. It genuinely captures the Swing Big Band feel, which is impressive for this level. Well-balanced and effective.
