STRANGER ON THE SHORE - Acker Bilk - Alto Sax - Free score

Показать описание

"Stranger on the Shore" is a popular instrumental tune composed by Acker Bilk in 1961. The song features Bilk's clarinet playing, backed by a traditional jazz band consisting of piano, drums, bass, and guitar.

The song became a huge hit, reaching number one on the UK Singles Chart and number two on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 1962. It has since become a jazz standard and has been covered by many artists over the years.

The title of the song refers to a stranger who is seen walking on the beach and is watched from afar. The melody is haunting and melancholic, and it has been described as a perfect representation of the mood of a seaside resort town in winter.

A fun fact about "Stranger on the Shore" is that it was actually written as a theme song for a British television series called "Stranger on the Shore". The show was a drama set in a seaside town, and Acker Bilk was asked to compose the theme song for it. However, the series was canceled before it aired, and the song ended up becoming much more famous than the show ever did.
