Composed by Howard Blake. Arranged by David McKeown. Christmas,Contemporary,Film/TV,Holiday. Score and parts. 4 pages. David McKeown #6067025. Published by David McKeown (A0.589407).Walking in the Air is the flying theme from the animated film, The Snowman. Written by Howard Blake for the film in 1982, a new version sung by Aled Jones, was a top 5 hit in the UK in 1985. It has been a permanent fixture on Christmas playlists ever since. This version is arranged as a duet for one Soprano and one Alto Saxophone.
Musicians at an intermediate level and above will find this ideal for formal and informal Christmas performances. The rhythms are straightforward though there are extended quaver passages at medium tempo. The overall performance time is around two and a half minutes. The short audio sample is from the Clarinet and Alto Saxophone version while the full length performance on the youtube link is the Clarinet duet.
Teachers will enjoy using this arrangement as a fun way to help with phrasing and expressive playing.
