The late Lamar Gammon. a founding member of the Bay MIDI Club, had a very favorite song … The Shadow of Your Smile, composed by Johnny Mandel. Lamar sponsored a contest for any and all, offering two prizes … one for the Best Arrangement and another for the Best Orchestration of this song. I decided to do a set of Variations based on styles of various composers and bands … J.S.Bach, Chopin, Bizet, Segovia, Stan Kenton, Brazil 77, etc. The Variations on a Theme won both prizes. I have added this music to the Music Tab.
