The Nearness of You arranged by Rick Stitzel

Vocal Solo with Jazz Ensemble - Grade 3
This iconic jazz standard has remained a favorite for 80 years, and is arranged here for vocal soloist in a straight 8th ballad style. A brief trombone soli provides nice variety, and the full ensemble lends beautiful support throughout.

Mr. Stitzel, this is a magnificent arrangement. Beautiful & artfully assembled. I just purchased it for our big band. Thanks for the great work!

It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me
Oh no, it's just the nearness of you
It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation
Oh no, it's just the nearness of you
When you're in my arms
And I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams came true
I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you will only grant me
The right to hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night
The nearness of you
