Jan Berry and George Tipton’s original music score, used by Wrecking Crew studio musicians to record the original track in 1965.
From Jan Berry’s ambitious album of orchestral arrangements, released in the spring of 1965: Pop Symphony No. 1 (in 12 Hit Movements).
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 college, state, and local orchestras who want to tackle this classic hit from 1965, re-imagined as an orchestral arrangement.
