Stand by Me

Stand By Me, perhaps Ben E. King’s greatest hit ever, was first released in 1961 as the b-side of a single, but as it soon went to number one on the R&B charts and to number one of the pop charts, the single was released again with Stand By Me as the a-side. In 1986 it was rereleased again, on the release of the movie by the same name, and it is also well-known through countless cover versions by famous singers. Now, Stand By Me is available for a flexible five part instrumentation.

Answer Me, My Love : Mutterlein

“Answer Me, My Love” was originally written with German lyrics by Fred Rauch and music by Gerard Winkler under the title “Mutterlein”.

It became a hit in 1953, but it was during 1954 that Nat King Cole recorded it and made it a chart-topper in both the US and Europe. In 2000 the Canadian composer and singer Joni Mitchell included it on her successful record album “Both Sides Now”.

Me and Mrs. Jones

Me and Mrs. Jones was written by Kenny Gamble, Leon Huff and Cary Gilbert in 1972, and was first recorded by Billy Paul on the album 360 Degrees of Billy Paul. The song is about a man who has an affair with Mrs. Jones, and how the two secretly meet every day in the same cafe, even though they may know it's not quite right: "We got a thing going on/we both know that it's wrong/but it's much too strong/to let it go now." Paul has stated that he was sure the song was going to be a hit even before it was released, as "it's a song everyone can relate to", but already from the start the lyrics were considered somewhat controversial and the song were banned from several radio stations. Nevertheless, it became one of the best-selling singles of 1972 and Paul received a Grammy for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance. Well known is also Michael Bublé's version of the song, released on the album Call Me Irresponsible in 2007. It is his version that has been the inspiration for this arrangement, which brings out even more of the jazz elements Bublé has found in the song. The arrangement is quite demanding for the ensemble, and requires great rhythmic precision in particular.
