By George Shearing. By Hoagy Carmichael and Ned Washington. Arranged by Kevin P Holdgate. This edition: pdf. 20th Century, Broadway, Film/TV, Jazz, Musical/Show, Standards. Brass Band. 24 pages. Kevin P Holdgate #1248279. Published by Kevin P Holdgate (A0.1683018)."The Nearness of You" is a popular song written in 1937 by Hoagy Carmichael with lyrics by Ned Washington. Intended for an unproduced Paramount Pictures film titled Romance In The Rough, the studio's publishing division Famous Music reregistered and published the song three years later in 1940.
It was first recorded by Chick Bullock and his Orchestra on Vocalion. Despite numerous accounts to the contrary, the song was never scheduled for and does not appear in the production of the 1938 Paramount film Romance in the Dark.
I first did this arrangement for me to record as a trombone solo with The James Shepherd Versatile Brass. It appears on the CD entitled Renaissance. I have since recorded the brass band version a number of times and used it as a solo item with a number of brass bands in the UK and around europe.
A gentle ballad the brass band version is playable by all levels of band. The solo part is most likely around Grade 6 (ABRSM) in standard.
