  Serenade by Glenn Miller for Wind Band
  ca.: 3:25 Min.
  Stufe 3-4
  Arr.: Achim Graf / Peter Welte

  Glenn Miller (1904 - 1944) was an American jazz trombonist, bandleader, composer and arranger. Glenn Miller was a perfectionist with regard to his arrangements and was a gifted businessman. His band was organized as a company that assured the musicians and hired the stage workers, a model that was later followed by many bands.
  
  After Paris was liberated by the Allies in 1944, the "Army Air Force Orchestra", under the direction of Miller, was to perform there in Olympia. It is thought that the plane he had traveled to France on 15 December 1944 was accidentally hit over the English Channel because of the heavy fog of bombs from British planes and crashed. The wreck of the civilian machine has not yet been found.
  
  The news that Miller was missing from the canal was announced on Christmas Eve 1944, and he was greeted with great horror and tremendous sympathy. His life and work was filmed in the film "The Glenn Miller Story" with James Stewart in the lead role 1953/54 and became a worldwide success.
  
  The two German arrangers Achim Graf and Peter Welte have kept to the original as far as possible, however, the present occupation and needs of a good wind orchestra as well as their listeners are not neglected.
