Description
The Andrew Sisters (Maxene, Patty, LaVerne) "Sabre Dance" Sheet Music. The story behind The Andrews Sisters and their hit recording of "Sabre Dance" (often misheard or referred to as "Sabra Dance") is a fascinating tale of musical innovation born directly out of a fierce 1948 labor strike. For their track, they chose to tackle "Sabre Dance," a high-octane, chaotic orchestral movement originally composed by Aram Khachaturian for his 1942 Soviet ballet, Gayane. Songwriters Allan Roberts and Lester Lee hastily wrote a set of rapid-fire, tongue-twisting pop lyrics to match the breathless speed of the classical arrangement. The resulting lyrics featured frantic lines like "Whirling, swirling, twirling out of control / The music drives me crazy, everything becomes so hazy" and rhythmic filler sounds like "Zig-idee, zing, zing" Released in the spring of 1948, "(Every Time They Play The) Sabre Dance" became an instant jukebox sensation. Accompanied only by a buzzing wall of harmonicas and their own lightning-fast, flawless three-part vocal harmonies, the song surged onto the Billboard charts. https://offerup.com/redirect/?o=aHR0cHM6Ly95b3V0dS5iZS91NTNFcUZQWVoycz9zaT1lV0VsT25yVmVBcUF5d2N1 *PRICE FIRM - Cash Porch Pick Up p/u Bethesda, Md off Old Georgetown Rd near Suburban Hospital/ NIH (1 mile from the Capitol beltway, 2 miles from the NW DC line & Rt 270 spur)
