Ring of Fire by Merle Kilgore and June Carter, Arranged for the Schell’s Hobo Band by Sarah Houle – 2 Clarinets, 3 Trumpets, 2 Trombones, Baritone TC and BC, Tuba, Drums, 2023.
This is an old, old…OLD…possibly, one of the first things I ever had arranged for a larger group…arrangement. The arrangement never really worked when I first did it up, and, by special request, it was revamped a bit.
I am really pleased with how this turned out. The parts are easier (I think) to read, the instruction is clearer (repeats and section lettering), the one-beat measures seem clearer and simpler, the accompaniment parts are more predictable and clear, and instruments have been grouped as sections to help with playability and consistency. It sounds good on the sound file…hopefully, it will work for the band!
