On A Slow Boat To China

Transcribed from her album "Bette Midler Sings the Rosemary Clooney Songbook", this version was performed as a duet between Ms Midler & Barry Manilow (who also played the Piano on the track). Our chart here is true to this version, except that we have scored the string lines into the saxes (with Alto 1 doubling Clarinet). The chart is perfectly singable by just a solo vocalist. The piano part is written out in full. The vocal key is D modulating to Eb then E.  Brass ranges are not demanding, & aside from Alto 1 on Clarinet there are no other sax doubles.
