This originally orchestral "vocal" standard was made popular by Duke Ellington and collaborators Billy Strayhorn, Adelaide Hall (who, while offstage, hummed an obligato while the band played the selection on-stage), and ostensibly Cab Calloway. Research into the development of this tune is confused. Both Calloway's and Hall's lyrics can be found, but there is no information where the words go. In most recordings the singer, if present, lyricizes syllables rather than words. In any case, this handbell arrangement catches the spirit of the standard, which was rife with instrumental improvizatiolns; some "improvization" is scored here. The price listed allows you ten (10) copies of the handbell score.
