Fan Tan (String Sextet from Carnival of Sound) – Jan & Dean – Authentic Sheet Music

Fan Tan (String Sextet from Carnival of Sound)

Jan Berry and George Tipton’s original music score, used by Wrecking Crew studio musicians to record the original track in 1967.

Extracted from the full music score for “Fan Tan.” This sophisticated string arrangement picks up where Pop Symphony left off in 1965.

Transcribed by Mark A. Moore from Jan Berry’s music archive, in association with his estate. Moore is the author of Dead Man’s Curve: The Rock ‘n’ Roll Life of Jan Berry (McFarland 2021) and The Jan & Dan Record (McFarland 2016).

Perfect for string sections that want to tackle a challenging piece that merges classical music with the burgeoning Psychedelic era of 1967.
