Sentimental Journey

Sentimental Journey is one of the biggest hits of the great big-band era. As Sentimental Journey was published in 1944 and coincided with the end of World War II in Europe, Doris Day’s recording became the homecoming theme for many soldiers, taking the “sentimental journey home.” This is a Flex-5 SHOWBLOW arrangement, with 5 flexible parts for woodwinds and brass instruments, and additional parts for drums, piano and bass guitar (with chords). The arrangement is in a “laid back” swing style, nicely scored by SHOWBLOW arranger Inge Sunde.
