Description
No New Year’s celebration or formal gathering is complete without Auld Lang Syne. This arrangement by the versatile Dennis Armitage treats the traditional Scottish melody with a sense of dignity and warm nostalgia. Moving beyond a simple unison setting, Armitage provides rich, choral-like harmonies and a build-up that captures the emotional weight of “old acquaintance.” It is a fundamental “utility” piece for any band’s library, perfect for formal endings, funerals, or holiday celebrations.
Difficulty 3
