Synopsis
This By Arrangement pack features three musical themes from Australia's most popular musical - 'Man of Steel' and includes
'You're a Gangster', 'Man of Steel, I really Love You So' and 'Clap Your Hands for the Man of Steel'.
You’re A Gangster is a moderate swing number with contrasting jazz styles: soft-shoe/big band. Man of Steel, I Really Love You
So is a melodic soft-rock ballad with a gentle, restrained feel throughout. Clap Your Hands For The Man Of Steel is a loud and
spirited jazz-rock number features riffs, contrasting solo and chorus sections with much call-and-response.

PACK CONTENTS
Three Complete Arrangements
Each pack contains not one but three complete arrangements with a common theme of historical style, musical setting or holiday
setting. This makes the By Arrangement packs ideal for concert programming or as standalone classroom material.
Printed Conductor's Score
The conductor's scores are designed to put the musical information you need at your fingertips while keeping pages to a readable
size. Scores feature the four main melody lines (see below) and the full rhythm section parts. Important performance notes (for
both conductor and musicians) are included as well as useful links that put the piece in its musical context. Multiple Instrument
Parts
Let's face it: it would be surprising to find two school bands in Australia with exactly the same number of musicians and instrument
line-up! So instead of guessing at what your requirements are, you can make the call. We've provided you with one each of the
parts; feel free to photocopy what you need for your school band.
All arrangements are scored for a `front line' group of four instruments of different registers (roughly corresponding to Soprano,
Alto, Tenor and Bass) and a rhythm section comprising guitar, piano, bass and drum kit.
Parts for the front-line instruments, incorporating the relevant transpositions and clefs, can be played by the following instruments:
Part I: 'soprano' - flute, oboe, violin, clarinet, trumpet or alto sax
Part II: 'alto' - oboe, violin, clarinet, trumpet or alto sax
Part III: 'tenor' - bassoon, trombone, cello, viola, clarinet, baritone B.C., bass clarinet, alto sax, tenor sax or French horn
Part IV: 'bass' - bassoon, trombone, cello, bass clarinet, baritone sax, clarinet or baritone B.C.
MIDI files
Each pack includes a multimedia CD with the MIDI files for the piece. Most computers will play back MIDI files and these
'backing tracks' can be slowed down for rehearsal purposes. Used as accompaniments, just deselect the tracks you don't need and
play the rest. Voila; instant drummer / bass player / other missing instrument

Each arrangement has been recording directly from the original musical files and is playable in a standard CD player. This is a
great way to show the band 'how the song goes'; essential when learning new pieces.
PDFs of All Files
Master copies of conductor scores and instrument parts have a nasty habit of disappearing. For your convenience (and sanity) each
By Arrangement pack comes with Adobe Acrobat PDFs of all the conductor's scores and all the instrumental parts. What a great
way to start building your own computer based music filing system!
