Adapated from the original Billy May arrangement of Sinatra's Reprise recording, Luck Be A Lady kicks off with the slow, almost Colla Voce intro, which picks up into a thumping swing chart. Jon Harpin has done a remarkable job in transcribing this Sinatra classic. Everything is here - dynamics, articulations, phrasing, modulations, the works. Strings were used in the original recording, which have been re-scored into the band, to make the charge suitable for a 5,4,4,4 line-up. At 5 minutes 15 seconds this is a long chart and makes for a great vocal feature. Lead Alto doubles Clarinet. Duration 5' 15' Grade: Medium/Advanced
