All I’ll Ever Need arrangement

All I’ll Ever Need show band arrangement by Bill Fulton was created for the 2009 production of Holiday Spirit at Ebony Repertory Theater in Los Angeles. Fulton prepared the arrangement for clients Stewart Wilson-Turner and Stuart K. Robinson as part of the music for this live holiday production.

All I’ll Ever Need was one of several selections Fulton arranged for Holiday Spirit. His work for the production also included Carol of the Bells, Heights Medley, and Little Drummer Boy. Therefore, the project called for a consistent musical approach across several pieces while giving each selection its own character.

Music for Holiday Spirit 2009

The show took place at Ebony Repertory Theater on December 13, 2009. Writing for a theatrical show band requires an arranger to consider the complete production. The music must support the performers while also fitting the pacing and dramatic flow of the program.

Fulton brought his experience as an arranger, composer, pianist, and orchestrator to the project. His background includes music for live performance, recording projects, jazz ensembles, orchestras, film, and television. As a result, he approaches an arrangement with both the individual musicians and the complete production in mind.

Arranging for a Live Show Band

Show-band writing often requires flexibility. An arrangement may support a vocalist, feature the instrumental ensemble, establish a new mood, or provide a transition within the production. Moreover, the instrumentation must make effective use of the musicians available for the performance.

The Holiday Spirit project represents one example of Fulton’s work creating arrangements for a specific live production. Rather than treating the music as isolated selections, the arrangements served the broader needs of the show and its performers.
