(Level 4) This Kern/Hammerstein classic is always in demand. This chart is fairly difficult and demands extreme versatility in vocal approach. Three sections exist. The first is an a cappella, four-part, reharmonized mania of the full form. The second section is reminiscent of Swingle Singers approach. The third section is big band influenced and must be kicked like a true horn section. The piece ends with a piano solo and rousing shout chorus incorporating all elements of the arrangement. SATB with rhythm section.
