This favorite Harold Arlen tune, written in 1932, was very popular during WWII and has become a jazz/pop standard through recordings by Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald and more. Paul has beautifully crafted this for handbells with a really cool addition of handchimes. Optional repeats make it easily adjusted for length. You can easily include trap set and string bass (scores not included)… or even a vocalist. Ringers will enjoy this and you will definitely want to add this toe-tapping audience-pleaser to your concert repertoire.
