The theme song from Halloween ranks as one of the creepiest movie theme songs ever. It was first composed in 1978, and is still creeping people out just as strong as ever. Critics have grumbled about it being too simple, but that\\\'s what makes this piece so memorable.

Set at a time signature of 5/4 throughout, this arrangement is scored for Bb clarinets. The 4th part can be played by either a \\\"regular\\\" clarinet or a bass, or a contrabass.

It goes without saying that this piece should be played in a cold and mechanical manner. It definitely isn\\\'t a \\\"pretty\\\" piece. The lower instruments should be strong, while the upper instruments tip toe on top. If you would like to add a little more interest to the piece, an egg shaker could be played at every beat.

This will give your audience the heebie jeebies.

This piece is simple enough for musicians with intermediate skill.

Duration: 2.25 minutes

One of Benny Goodman's signature pieces, Stompin' at the Savoy will require some drill and practice in several spots. The key signature of three flats may be challenging. The Medium Swing style makes the piece fun to play as well as listen to. The part 1 has a fairly wide range that soars to the altissimo register in the second half. May be challenging for young players but is worth the time. Suitable for school or community ensembles. .
