Khe Sanh (Full orchestra with optional TTB Choir)

Details

Description

"Khe Sanh" is a song by Australian rock band Cold Chisel, released as a 45-rpm single in May 1978, and named after the district capital of Hướng Hóa District, Quảng Trị Province, Vietnam.

This arrangement works well as just a pop orchestral work with no vocals, but I have provided the optional TTB vocals, keyboard, and rock band parts to use if you are looking for something extra special for a performance feature. There are also optional parts for a saxophones section which will enhance the pop feel and support the horns and woodwinds.

Written by pianist Don Walker, "Khe Sanh" concerns an Australian Vietnam veteran dealing with his return to civilian life. "Khe Sanh" is one of the most popular songs ever recorded by an Australian act and one seen as a resonant symbol of the Australian culture. Don Walker has said the song was inspired by a number of people, including, "the guy from the next farm," who came back from Vietnam, "severely changed for the worst," and Adelaide guitarist Rick Morris.
