songwriter, lead singer, and bassist for the new wave rock band the Police from 1977 to 1984,

new-age and worldbeat in his music.
Released in 1983 this is his most famous hit in my opinion. This Brass Quintet arrangement by Joseph Pugh really rocks
your chops. If you like sharps its a must have.

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

Item Number: H0.258237-55790 One of the greatest rock songs of the 1980s by a band recently inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is available for you to play with your brass quintet. Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" is one of those hits that was big when it came out in 1981 and has only become bigger. This arrangement includes the guitar solo in the trombone part and includes the wonderful riffs and harmonies you know from the original.

"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.
