This began as a simple record copy of Vanessa Williams recording and took a sudden and very unusual turn during its evolution. The counter melody which was written by Rob Mathes fascinated me and as this arrangement developed, I realized that I built this whole arrangement around the counter melody, not the melody. That was a surprise when it was finished.
All of the parts are moderately easy with the exception on the high B for Trumpet 1. For a pro of course this is still easy but for a middle school player it might cause a problem.
Melodically and contrapuntally speaking, this is a definite winner.
