Description
The most famous ragtime tune of all time, Scott Joplin’s The Entertainer, is given a bright and rhythmic brass band treatment by Norman Tailor. This arrangement captures the “honky-tonk” charm and the precise syncopation of the original piano rag. Tailor includes alternate bass clef Trombone parts to suit any ensemble. It is an essential light-music item that is instantly recognizable to all audiences, making it a perfect choice for pops concerts, park performances, and encores.
Difficulty 3
(Medium) Fourth year players, or junior high-level students may require these arrangements to be properly challenged. These generally have free use of syncopation as well as section and solo scoring. Cues and cross cues will also be used less.
