About this collection

Ray Henderson Sheet Music

Ray Henderson's songwriting career spanned vaudeville, Broadway, and the Golden Age of popular song, and this 36-title collection brings his most enduring melodies into modern rehearsal rooms. You'll find jazz ensemble arrangements like "Bye Bye Blackbird," alongside choral octavos and marching band charts, mostly in easy-to-medium difficulty ranges.

Who it's for

  • Choir directors seeking secular pops for mixed and SSA voicings
  • Jazz ensemble directors working with young or developing players
  • Marching band instructors building accessible pops repertoire

What's inside

  • 36 Ray Henderson titles plus works by lyricists Lew Brown and B. G. DeSylva
  • Choral octavos (2-Part, SAB, SSA, SATB), jazz ensemble scores with parts, marching band charts
  • Mostly Grades 1 to 2.5, with Broadway and Great American Songbook sources
  • Multiple formats: printed octavos, conductor scores with parts, PDF and digital downloads

Things to consider

Most of Henderson's choral work here is already arranged for small voicings, so you can pull individual octavos for a concert or take a suite approach across voicings. If your choir or band is new to jazz or pop styles, start with Grade 1 or 1.5 titles to build confidence before moving into Medium repertoire. Many titles appear in both choral and jazz ensemble versions, so pair formats based on your ensemble type and
