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 now collect vintage sheet music. It doesn't take up much space. Paper-thin. Literally. And the early 20th century art work overlaps art nouveau and art deco styles. Beautiful. I found sheet music for My Melody of Love at an estate sale. I cannot find any performance on the internet. So I arranged this so I could hear it. Perhaps "Oh Johnny, Oh Johnny, Oh!" (Andrews Sisters, Peggy Lee) was a more popular song by Rose and Olman. This is NOT the 1974 hit by Bobby Vinton that has Polish lyrics "Moja droga jacie kocham".  I believe I am using glissando for the first time. After the piano intro and at the very end.  I think the jazzy waltz that I do on the piano part works.
