James Bond for Brass Band Collection

A few years ago I decided to base my summer programme around a central theme of the James Bond movies.

There is such a rich collection of theme songs available which people know and love. These arrangements are simple and straightforward, nothing overly clever or difficult so that they are playable by all levels of brass band.

Audiences loved them because they knew the tunes and could sing along.

A great arrangement for Brass Band of this McCartney song used as theme music for the 1973 James Bond film of the same name.

James Bond themes are always popular with audiences and Moonraker (Shirley Bassey's third outing) is a beautiful piece for your concert programme. Score for 4 trumpets (4th on flugel), horn, 4 trombones and tuba. Score and parts included.

Arranged by Andy Derrick a professional trombonist and composer/arranger he has many works available here including scores for brass ensembles from educational to professional settings.
