"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.

Contrasting textures, changing key centers, and rich harmonies make this unique arrangement of a beloved Irish folk melody ideal as a prelude to worship, or as an offertory or communion anthem.

Part of Gustav Holst's The Planets, this piece depicts the planet Mars in all it's blood red, mysterious glory. It is a powerful and somewhat strenuous work and will require good endurance from all players but it is sure to please your audience. Suitable for a variety of programs.
