Georgia On My Mind, for 7 melody instruments, percussion, solo instrument, Score and parts

Arr.:Torskangerpoll, Idar

This is a standard by Hoagy Carmichael from 1930, and later played by many artists, notably Ray Charles recorded in 1960. It was chosen as state song in the state of Georgia in the US, but the lyrics is so ambious that one can not be sure if it's about the state or a woman by the same name. The conductor must make sure that the soloist is always easy to hear, thin out if needed. The soloist is given great liberty to form the meldody both rhythmically and melodic, play the impro section ad. lib. Solo Options: Flute, Oboe, Bb Clarinet, Alto Sax, Tenor Sax, Trumpet, Trombone
