Hal Leonard The Bare Necessities - Gilkyson/Murtha - Concert Band - Gr. 3

Composer: Terry Gilkyson
Arranger: Paul Murtha
Format: Score and Parts
Instrumentation: Concert Band
Level: 3

First heard in the original 1967 movie, this familiar tune is featured again in the blockbuster 2016 version. In this clever arrangement for band, Paul Murtha uses a peppy 2-beat style and starts out with the trombones on the melody. Every section of the band gets into the act, however, including a solo or soli for tuba, and a brief slower section for a Dixieland combo leading to the rousing finish. A guaranteed highlight on any concert.
