Amapola by Helen O'Connell. Arranged by Marion Evans, Myles Collins. For big band with female vocal. Swing. Medium. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-2105). This is the original Helen O'Connell version of Amapola taken from her 1957 album 'Green Eyes,' as recorded with the Marion Evans Orchestra. The original Marion Evans manuscript was used, this is not a transcription. However, it has been modified slightly by the addition the 'as-played' dynamic markings on the instrument parts. In addition, the chart has been written out in full, rather than using the original DS al Coda indications. The chart calls for the entire sax sextion to double clarinets. However, an alternate set of sax parts has been included on the reverse of the originals that avoids the need for clarinet doubles, making the chart playable by an AATTB line-up throughout. The vocal key is F.

Tangerine

Tangerine by Helen O'Connell. Arranged by Hal Mooney, Myles Collins. For big band with female vocal. Swing. Medium. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-2154). Tangerine was originally a vocal duet hit for Helen O'Connell in her time with the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra. This version is from her 1951 Capitol Records sessions, though not in the end recorded and released. It is not a transcription, but a re-score of the Hal Mooney manuscript. The only change is to augment the brass up to 8 voices from the original 7, and to score the vocal chart 'as sung' by Helen and Peter Marshall, including Helen's signature lyric changes - "with mascara'd eye and chapeau by Dache..." . This is a boy / girl duet, with the boy taking the slow first chorus and the girl the second, up tempo chorus. The style and structure of the arrangement is based around the earlier Dorsey version, though without the instrumental tutti passage in the middle. The little alto sax solo which leads to the girl vocal is improvised. There are no sax doubles and the vocal keys are F (male) and C (female).

I've Got A Feelin' You're Foolin'

I've Got A Feelin' You're Foolin' by Helen O'Connell. Arranged by Marion Evans. For big band with female vocal. Swing. Difficult. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-2163). This is the actual Helen O'Connell version from her "Here's Helen" album, as recorded with the Marion Evans Orchestra. This chart is not a transcription and has been recreated from the original manuscripts. It is an up-tempo swinger opening in the key of C and modulating to Db and D for the instrumental passages, with the vocalist returning in D and moving to Eb for the shout. The band parts, whilst not hard, do need to be played with good sectional discipline in order to pack the punch that the arrangement demands. The chart is written for 5/4/4/4 with no Sax doubles. The vocal keys are C modulating to D and Eb. Trumpets 1-4: Eb6, C6, A5, A5 Trombones 1-4: Bb4, Ab4, G4, G4 Vocal key: C to D to Eb Female Vocal Range: G3 - C5 (11 steps) as sung.

I Can't Believe That You're In Love With Me

I Can't Believe That You're In Love With Me by Helen O'Connell. Arranged by Marion Evans. For big band with female vocal. Swing. Medium. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-2166). This is the original Helen O'Connell version from her 'Here's Helen' album, as recorded with the Marion Evans Orchestra. This chart is not a transcription - the original manuscript was used. The arrangement opens at a slow, bluesy tempo with muted brass over clarinets, and the first vocal chorus maintains the tempo and feel. The chart then kicks into double time for a punchy, up-tempo final chorus one step up from the first. The reeds were originally scored for 3 clarinets (AAT) and 2 bass clarinets (TB). However, recognizing that having two players doubling bass clarinets is not something that many bands will be able to cope with, alternate sax parts have been included on the reverse of the pages which leave ATTB on saxes, and the lead alto doubling clarinet. The vocal key is Eb modulating to F.

It Could Happen To You

It Could Happen To You by Helen O'Connell. Arranged by Frankie Ortega, Myles Collins. For big band with female vocal. Swing. Medium. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-2179). Here is another original Helen O'Connell chart as played by her on her many concert tours. The tune was written by Johnny Burke & Jimmy van Heusen for the Paramount film "And the Angels Sing". This arrangement is not a transcription, but a re-score of the original Frankie Ortega chart. To the best of our knowledge this chart was not commercially recorded, hence there is no audio sample. The chart opens colla voce, just voice and piano, joined in tempo (100) by the band for the first chorus. In typical O'Connell style, the chart picks up into swing (180) for the final chorus. The saxes are scored to double clarinets, although alternate parts on the reverse which eliminate the need to double have been provided. The vocal key is C throughout.

Arthur Murray (Taught Me Dancing In A Hurry)

Arthur Murray (Taught Me Dancing In A Hurry) by Helen O'Connell. Arranged by Hal Mooney, Myles Collins. For big band with female vocal. Swing. Medium. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-2210). Arthur Murray was originally a hit for Helen O'Connell in her time with the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra. This version is from her 1951 Capitol Records recording session and is not a transcription, but a re-score of the Hal Mooney manuscript. The only change is to augment the brass up to 8 voices from the original 7, and to score the vocal chart 'as sung' by Helen. Everything is here, from the rubato opening, colla voce verse and the pick up into the up-tempo body of the chart, where the rhythms alternate between mambo and swing. This arrangement makes a great vocal concert feature and if your singer is looking for something a bit different, this is it. There are no sax doubles and the vocal key is G throughout.
