Product Details


Product Description

Carioca comes from a 1933 popular song, music composed by Vincent Youmans and lyrics by Edward Eliscu and Gus Kahn.

It was featured in the 1933 film Flying Down to Rio and danced by the famous Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.

This arrangement for string quartet begins in the traditional Latin jazz style (featuring an extended cello solo), with a sudden transition to swing that includes solo breaks for each member of the ensemble, followed by a shout chorus. The Latin style returns with a flourish to the finish.

The chord changes are included on the solos allowing for improvisation. The solos could also be opened up.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
