The Aristocats

Transcription and arrangement of the title song from Disney’s 1970 animated comedy ‘The Artistocats.’ It is arranged with a few inside musical jokes referencing other classical themes that any audience listener could spot, adding humor and elegance to the Sherman Brother’s witty and delightful song, as originally sung by Maurice Chevalier. This arrangement is in the original key for male vocalist (in Bb major) then moved to A for this arrangement, it also includes an instrumental section in the middle and grand opening, all kept in cut-time thoughout. Medium to Hard difficulty. Duration is approximately 3 minutes. This arrangement could also be performed with only soloist and piano (and opt’l added instruments).
