Our Love Is Here To Stay by George & Ira Gershwin ♫ Vocalist + Septet, arranged by Rich Willey.
Key of F with solo vocal intro into the first vocal chorus followed by solo space, and then a full ensemble “soli” chorus before another space for solos goes into the out-chorus.
68 written measures, arranged to be played at ♩ = 132, difficulty level is intermediate to advanced.
This arrangement really grooves with a mellow accompaniment to the vocal melody and a clever, hard-driving horn ensemble between soloists. Tag at end with cool maj7#11 ending.
