Wright & Round: I Will Always Love You (Parton arr. Barry)

Why not put a brass band tribute to Dolly Parton on your next concert programme...

Dolly Parton
  The song was the main theme to the film 'The Bodyguard'

The recent death of the legendary singer Dolly Parton has been felt across the world.

Her distinctive voice sunny disposition and glamorous appearance lit up every stage she set foot on — and her amazing catalogue of over 3,000 songs included a huge number of hits.

The Bodyguard

Few though are as enduring as 'I Will Always Love You'. Written in 1973, it became one of her signature compositions before reaching a new generation through Whitney Houston's hugely successful 1992 recording as the theme of film 'The Bodyguard'.

Darrol Barry's arrangement for brass band brings this timeless melody to the concert platform capturing the warmth and emotion that have made it so universally loved.

'I Will Always Love You' offers a particularly poignant way to celebrate Dolly Parton and the remarkable musical legacy she leaves behind.
