One moment…

It seems that every community or school has at least one vocal soloist just ready, willing and able to perform with your concert band. To fill the need for audience-pleasing 'pop' standards, Warren Barker recently launched his Vocal Showcase Series and contributes this delightful new scoring to that series. Should you wish to use an instrumental soloist, parts are included for solo tenor saxophone, clarinet or trombone. Wonderfully lush 'Barker' treatment. (Vocal range: A-flat below staff to fourth line D, treble clef) (duration 3:36)

More about this title

About the Composer: Herman Hupfeld

Herman Hupfeld (1894-1951) was an American songwriter and composer best known for "As Time Goes By," which became an enduring standard after its appearance in the 1942 film Casablanca. His gift for crafting memorable melodies with emotional depth made him a central figure in the Great American Songbook, and his work continues to define the sound of classic popular music.

Hupfeld's compositions remain fixtures in both vocal and instrumental arrangements because they balance sophistication with immediate accessibility. Directors and arrangers return to his melodies again and again, finding in them the kind of timeless quality that connects with audiences across generations.

Why we love this

Warren Barker's arrangement captures everything that makes this standard special while giving your band a genuine feature moment. The scoring is rich enough to showcase a fine soloist without overwhelming them, and the instrumental alternatives (tenor saxophone, clarinet, or trombone) mean you can tailor the performance to the strength of your ensemble.

What to expect

Elegant and nostalgic, with the warmth of a classic Hollywood moment. The arrangement settles into a gentle groove that feels both timeless and immediately familiar, allowing the melody to breathe while the band colors it with sophisticated harmonies.

Who it's for

Directors who have a strong vocal soloist (or a capable tenor saxophonist, clarinetist, or trombonist) and want a sophisticated pop standard that feels like a genuine concert feature rather than a novelty. The Grade 5 difficulty means your concert band has the musicianship to handle Barker's harmonic language and support a quality solo performance.

How to get the most out of it

Balance the solo voice or instrument carefully in rehearsals; the band's lush voicing can easily overshadow a less-experienced soloist, so work with dynamics during early run-throughs.
Shape the rubato thoughtfully, especially in the opening phrase. This standard invites slight flexibility in tempo, but define it clearly so the band stays with the soloist.
If using an instrumental soloist, listen carefully to tone production. Barker's orchestration rewards warm, singing tone from the featured instrument.
Bring out the inner harmonic movement in the band parts. The 'wonderfully lush' Barker treatment shines when woodwind and brass voicings are clear and balanced.

How to use it

This works beautifully as a mid-concert feature that gives audiences a breather and showcases your soloist's artistry. It pairs well alongside other pop standards or lighter concert fare and makes a memorable impression when programmed before or after more traditional concert band repertoire.
