The Four Seasons

Written with plenty of variety in scoring and dynamics plus a short percussion break, this entertaining production number is based on the 1960s hits by the Four Seasons “December 1963 (Oh, What a Night)” and “Walk Like a Man.”

Michael Brown’s lush treatment of Frankie Valli’s hit ballad “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You” opens with a solo or soli for horns followed by a creative mix of modulations and dramatic effects. The ending builds nicely to a climax with a recap of “Big Girls Don’t Cry” and a powerful finish.
