Stand by Me "Stand by Me" is a song originally performed by American singer-songwriter Ben E. King, written by King, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. According to King, the song title is derived and was inspired by a spiritual composition by Sam Cooke called "Stand by Me Father" (although Mike Stoller has stated differently). This spiritual was sung by The Soul Stirrers with Johnnie Taylor singing lead. There have been over 400 recorded versions of "Stand by Me" performed by many artists. The song has been featured on the soundtrack of the 1986 film Stand by Me. It is arranged for brass quintet: the melody is shared amongst the 4 upper instruments. The tuba plays the well known bass "riff"(which is given to the trombone for 8 bars to give the tubist a breather!) Enjoy!

This 1964 hit follows a standard 12-bar Blues pattern (something which the Beatles rarely used). It is arranged here to be sight-readable by a competent group, providing an straight-forward, up-tempo piece for your repertoire. The guitar solo has been transcribed from the original, or can be replaced with an improvisation (chords provided).

Bill Withers wrote his single Lean on me in 1972 and is considered a standard in the Soul genre. This brass quintet arrangement is fairly straight forward. The trumpet parts may be played on Flugelhorns if the players wish. It is important for players to listen to some Bill Withers and note his singing style and how he leans on certain notes. Don't play too strictly or stridently. Be soulful and relaxed. -duration 3:20
