Help me, but at 1:23 that really sounds like interlocking two F horns and two bones (a la Henry Mancini), with a french horn lead. Is that possible?? Or, just bones with bells down into the stands??? It sounds too warm for just bones, though? Note how the line closes into an overlay of at least one flute--possibly two, in 3ds with a muted trumpet. 1:37 is still jarring, however--but just a slight mar in such supurlative writing!! Damn this is good!!
Wow, I REALLLY liked this arrangement!! This is how the new Glen Miller band should have proceeded into the future (leave it to McKinley to do it right!), rather than rehash so many of the older (and far simpler and more trite) original ballad arrangements like O'brien and other contemporaries have done. Anyway, very elegant wrapping of music around a wonderful voice--lots of counterpoint, beautiful colors. This is so good! I'm not convinced of the mood change at 1:37--not properly prepared.
