About old TRG scores

we just got an email from an American jazz educator, who was interested in the following TRG arrangements:

 

• All of Me
• Basie Medley
• Blues for Alice
• Body And Soul
• Good Bait
• It Don't Mean a Thing if it Ain't Got that Swing
• Joy Spring
• L'il Darlin'
• Misty
• My Romance
• Night and Day
• Round Midnight
• Skylark
• Splanky
• There Will Never Be Another You
• Waltz for Debby
• When I Fall in Love

 

and this is how I replied to him:

 

hi Scott,

thanks a lot for your appreciation of our music!

Good Bait and Splanky are available in a compilation book of vocal jazz arrangements called "A jazzy dozen".
At Carus Verlag - here


My arrangement of Waltz For Debby has been published by Walton Music - plz check here


But I have heard it's out of print.
There is a swedish version of Waltz For Debby, called "Monicas Vals". The arrangement is identical to the English version,
and published by Gehrmans Förlag - here


For the rest of the scores, then...
First I'd like to ask - are you in a hurry to get them? :-)

Those arrangements have not been published, and will not be, mainly because copyrighted material is Very expensive to publish,
especially when the target group (vocal jazz groups with a potential ability to perform the material) is very small.

But we could make the arrangements available to rent, for educational purposes.

As soon as we get our new online school up and running - The Real Academy - then we can make pdf's of some of the arrangements you mentioned available to rent,
thru the school site.
However, there are some legal matters to sort out first.  

How does that sound to your ears?

yours,


/Peder Karlsson

The Real Group and the Swedish music miracle

Written by Johan Scherwin

written for the occasion of a TRG concert at Philharmonie Luxemburg in June 18, 2009; a concert that celebrated Sweden's chairmanship of the European Union.

The Real Group, Sweden’s number one A Cappella group, are celebrating their silver jubilee. Like a rainbow, their repertoire stretches from World and folk music over pop and rock to the field of classical music.
