"God Only Knows" is a song written by Brian Wilson and Tony Asher for American rock band the Beach Boys, released in May 1966 as the eighth track on the group's album Pet Sounds. Two months later, it was released as the B-side of "Wouldn't It Be Nice" in the United States. In other countries, "God Only Knows" was the single's A-side. It is arranged for horn quartet. The melody is given to 2nd horn for the first verse, and split amongst all 4 for the rest of the song. Transposed into F to aid the horn player. An additional tuba part is included as an alternative to the 4th horn part. (Also available for horn quartet) Check out my other Beach Boys arrangements: California Girls for brass and sax quintet.

California Girls This is a song written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love for the American rock band, the Beach Boys featured on their 1965 album Summer Days. Wilson conceived the song during his first acid trip, later arranging and producing the song's recording. Upon its release as a single, "California Girls" reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song is considered emblematic of the 1960s Californian Sound. It is arranged for brass quintet. I have transposed it into Bb, a less problematic key, for playing the bass riff, which is shared amongst tuba, trombone and horn. The melody is shared amongst the 4 upper instruments, and I have given interesting harmony parts to the others, rather than following the melodic line. Hope you enjoy it.

"Wouldn't It Be Nice" is a song written by Brian Wilson, Tony Asher, and Mike Love for American rock band the Beach Boys, released as the opening track on their 1966 album Pet Sounds. The song was also released as a single two months after the album's release with "God Only Knows" as its B-side.[3] In other countries, the sides were flipped, with "Wouldn't It Be Nice" as the single's B-side. Its lyrics describe a couple in love lamenting about being too young to run off to get married, fantasizing about how nice it would be if they were adults. Arranged for standard brass quintet of 2 trumpets, horn, trombone and tuba. The melody is shared between trumpet 1 and trombone /horn (in the bridge section) Enjoy!

The "American" Beatles, the Beach Boys, like the Beatles translates well for Brass Quintets. Great for Summer and part of our "Pop" series, Note that there is some high register stuff in the 2nd trumpet and in the French Horn.

The classic World War II generation era song. A great show off piece for Brass Quintet and a great way to celebrate our veterans and show America's moxy. A must have in any American Brass quintets' folder.
