Dick Goodwin's output is quite remarkable. He has composed and arranged for all sorts of ensembles and situations. Many of the titles can be reorchestrated to fit a particular instrumentation.

  • Orchestral: Many "pops charts" are available, including often-requested selections like "Amazing Grace" and "2001 Fanfare" (Thus Spake Zarathustra), plus dozens of titles featuring soloists, jazz combo, or big band with orchestra. Dick is often called upon for special material, like the two complete shows that he arranged for Cathy & Marcy (singer/songwriter Grammy nominees with many children's CD credits)
  • Big Band/Combo/Lead Sheets: Many originals and arrangements like "Diz," "Crash Junior, "100 in the Shade," "Young Brother," "The Provincial Correspondent" -- including all of the originals and PD tunes from the "Studio Time" CD.
  • German Band: (Clarinet/two trumpets--workable for 2 clar. & 1 tpt. or clar., sop. sax. & tpt.--/trombone/tuba) Many titles available and most are a bit livelier and more fun for the inside guys than the "Hungry Five" book.
  • Marching Band: Goodwin served as staff arranger for the USC Bands for over 25 years, so there are file drawers full of "charts," including many originals and arrangements of PD tunes.
