Billie Jean is the most successful single that Michael Jackson ever released and is considered by many to be one of the best pop songs ever written. In this arrangement, Louis Kihara has transformed the timeless classic into a piece for concert band that no repertoire should be without!

Billie Jean van het succesalbum Thriller was de succesvolste single die Michael Jackson ooit heeft uitgebracht. De beroemde moonwalk die Jackson tijdens de première ten beste gaf, is minstens zo onvergetelijk gebleken. Kazuhiromaakte van de R&B-song een sterk arrangement voor blaasorkest. Een tophit die niet in uw repertoire mag ontbreken!

Billie Jean aus dem Erfolgsalbum Thriller war die erfolgreichste Single, die Michael Jackson je veröffentlichte. Unvergessen in diesem Zusammenhang ist auch der berühmte Moonwalk, den Jackson bei der Uraufführung des Songs erstmals präsentierte. Louis Kihara verwandelte den R&B-Song in ein starkes Arrangement für Blasorchester, das in Ihrem Repertoire nicht fehlen sollte!

Billie Jean, second single de l’album succès Thriller, aura été l’un des plus grands succès de Michael Jackson : non seulement il resta plus de 7 semaines au top des ventes aux États-Unis, mais il amorcera également la légende «Michael» : des paroles scandaleuses, une rythmique inoubliable, un clip extraordinaire, un moonwalk irréfrénable. Le solide arrangement de Louis Kihara ne devrait pas manquer dans votre répertoire !

Billie Jean, dall’album Thriller, è il single di Michael Jackson più noto. Indimenticabile resta il famoso Moonwalk di Michael Jackson, in occasione della prima esecuzione del brano. Louis Kihara ha arrangiato questa canzone in stile R&B in un arrangiamento per banda degno dell’originale.
