12014 – Second Hand Rose

Julie Styne

Arranged by Roger Harvey for 12 trombones

Difficulty: Medium

Price: £22.50

Programme notes:

The hit musical Funny Girl contains numerous songs that became popular in their own right including this comedy music hall number, Second Hand Rose.

Performance notes:

Quavers are swung unless marked ‘straight’

The tune at A should be extrovert. The muted backing needs to be clear and rhythmic.

At C the solo lines should be played with trad jazz abandon. Trb 2 can improvise and Trb 3 can vary the melody line slightly if desired.
