178th street chamber orchestra

D Camp's fictitious chamber orchestra. Composed or re-arranged by D Camp. Enjoy.

I am Mr D Camp. My hobby is composing and arranging tunes using music software. Ever since I could listen to music, I always wished I could re-arrange it. I did not have a group of musicians. Now in the computer age with music software I am able to listen to what I hear in my head. The 178th street chamber orchestra is my fictitious group of virtual musicians who sometimes collaborate with other fictitious groups such as the Bathgate Avenue Boys Choir or the Beneath-the-Expressway Rhythm Kings. I compose original tunes. I re-arrange existing tunes. I try to keep these as short as possible. Two minutes is an epic. Some are easy listening. Some are experimental. I do this for my personal enjoyment but I hope you enjoy too. Thank you.

Story behind the song

I heard this recently on an old vinyl album I bought in the 60's, Four Seasons: Gold Vault of Hits. I honestly did not recall hearing it. I couldn't get it out of my mind. It was written by Bob Gaudio who was born in the Bronx but raised in Bergenfield, New Jersey, where he attended Bergenfield High School. His mother worked for the text book publishing house Prentice Hall in Englewood Cliffs. My sister-in-law worked there and my wedding pictures were taken in their gardens. In 2009, Gaudio received his high school diploma, 50 years after dropping out of Bergenfield High School. See Jersey Boys.

I altered the middle section considerably, I think for the better. Sorry Mr Gaudio.
