Alexander’s Ragtime Band
This rousing two-part setting of Irvin Berlin’s Alexander’s Ragtime Bandis excellent for an all-boy’s group, although it may be sungas a two-part mixed piece. When sung by all-boys:
Part I — Cambiatas I/II
Part II — Cambiata II/Baritones.
Andy Gaus has captured the essence of the piece by asking the singers to mime brass instruments over the accompaniment of a ragtime piano part with a complementing kazoo. It won’t take long for Berlin’s music to capture your students’ musical imagination.
Words and Music: Irvin Berlin
Arranger: Andy Gaus
