Your ideas please. I want to do a BIAB arrangement of "cherry pink and apple blossom white" For those who remember the Pere Prado arrangement, there is a long hold of approx. 5 beats near the start of the song after the first measure.
I have no problem with the melody line as I will play it on the sax. How do I go about getting the background to 1. Stop during the held note? 2. Resume playing after the note? My thoughts now are to have the first measure rhythm only. The second measure background play the first beat only and the horn melody play solo beginning the "an"(+) of beat one +2+3(hold 3-4-1-2-3) +4+, then measure four in tempo.
Wow it is hard to write this question but for those around in 1955, all I want to do is to do it as close to the original as possible.
