Alexander's Ragtime Band

This rousing two-part setting of Irvin
Berlin's Alexander's Ragtime Band is excellent for an all-boy's group,
although it may be sung as a two-part mixed piece. When sung by
all-boys:
Part I -- Cambiatas I/II
Part II -- Cambiata II/Baritones.
Andy Gaus has captured the essence
of the piece by asking the singers to mime brass instruments over the accompaniment of
a ragtime piano part with a complementing kazoo. It won't take long for Berlin's music to capture your students' musical imagination.
Words and Music: Irvin Berlin
