Performance Notes
This score for "Don't Mess With the Devil" (Closing Credits) from the video game CUPHEAD is an arrangement for full Jazz
Ensemble of the original score. While it conforms very closely to the original, a number of changes have been made; the key has been
lowered to accommodate student ranges, critical parts have been cued to accommodate incomplete ensembles, and optional solos are
indicated. An optional vibes parts has been created for those ensembles with an expanded percussion section. This part does not need
to be covered if vibes are not available. The bass and piano parts are guides only. The vocal part, also optional, is covered in the
ensemble - use either, but not both at the same time. Please note that the vocal part is written loco (at its sounding pitch).

from the composer:

"The music of CUPHEAD is deeply influenced by the music of Duke Ellington and Scott Joplin, Cab Calloway and Benny Goodman, Gene
Krupa, Fletcher Henderson and many others. Great care was taken while composing the soundtrack to create music that not only suited the fast

e
paced, high energy gameplay, but that was still faithful to the big band and ragtime stylings of the era. I hope that performing these charts will

pl
inspire a whole new generation towards not only supporting jazz and big band music, but also towards fostering a love of music, especially live
music, and the arts as a whole in our communities. I truly hope that you enjoy your time spent with the CUPHEAD music!"
