John Lennon's beautiful Imagine reimagined (sorry?) for mellow contrapuntal Brass Quintet.

Listen here: https://youtu.be/aGFyoVtuXwY

This arrangement is an instrumental interpretation of John Lennon's great idea - Urgently needed in those days. The best-selling single of John Lennon's solo career, its lyrics encourage the listener to imagine a world at peace without the barriers of borders or the divisions of religion and nationality, and to consider the possibility that the focus of humanity should be living a life unattached to material possessions. Easy to play, a perfect concert piece for your ensemble. Instrumentation: Tpt 1/2 in Bb, Horn in F/Bb, Trombone C/Bb, Tuba C/Bb

This song was performed by the Beatles on Our World, the first live global television link; the BBC had commissioned the Beatles to write a song for the United Kingdom's contribution. Recorded in 1967, it had Lennon playing harpsichord, Paul McCartney on double bass, George Harrison on violin (an instrument he had never previously played), and Ringo Starr on drums, plus vocals, piano (played by their producer, George Martin), banjo (by Lennon), guitar and orchestral parts.The song has dramatic time changes and some unusual use of harmony. I have presented it here to work well as a small group arrangement.

Arrange standard brass quintet.
Key changed from G to F to add brass range.

"I Want to Hold Your Hand" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles. Written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and recorded on 17 October 1963, it was the first Beatles record to be made using four-track equipment.

With advance orders exceeding one million copies in the United Kingdom, "I Want to Hold Your Hand" would have gone straight to the top of the British record charts on its day of release (29 November 1963) had it not been blocked by the group's first million-seller "She Loves You", their previous UK single, which was having a resurgence of popularity following intense media coverage of the group.

Taking two weeks to dislodge its predecessor, "I Want to Hold Your Hand" stayed at number one for five weeks and remained in the UK top 50 for 21 weeks in total.

"Penny Lane" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles that was released in February 1967 as a double A-side single with "Strawberry Fields Forever". It was written primarily by Paul McCartney and credited to the Lennon?McCartney songwriting partnership. The lyrics refer to Penny Lane, a street in Liverpool, and make mention of the sights and characters that McCartney recalled from his upbringing in the city.

Arranged standard brass quintet.

I have made the decision to arrange this piece in Bb (The original is in B)

This means the trumpets are playing in their brightest register, for both the verse and chorus.
The solo (piccolo trumpet in the original) is played on standard trumpet using harmon mute, and drops it down an octave. It still sounds "brilliant"
The mp3 extract is of the verse and the solo.
