JEAN

A beautifully expressive violin solo (played by George Ockner) and cadenza clearly establish the proper mood and setting for this song, Dick Hyman has created an arrangement which feature a sonorous orchestral texture and a flexible "romantic" concep¬ tion of rhythm, i.e., a flowing "rubato" as opposed to a strict, metrical approach. Notice that within the con¬ text he establishes here, Hyman is able to continuously vary the type of string writing and texture he uses. Of the featured orchestral colors, mention must be made of the English horn (played by the versatile Phil Bodner), the French horn (impeccably played by James Buffington), as well as the harp, piano, and bells. The poetic finale is highlighted by warm, full-bodied chords from the brass section.
