Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) by the Beatles, was released on the 1965 album, Rubber Soul. Primarily written by John Lennon, the song refers obliquely to an affair that never quite off the ground. Norwegian Wood was the first pop song to feature George Harrison’s sitar, and in so doing, simultaneously brought Ravi Shankar to the attention of Western audiences and deeply influenced the emerging psychedelic rock movement.

This version of Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) is arranged as a duet for two Trumpets. The full YouTube performance above is the Clarinet version of the duet.

Musicians at an intermediate level will find this ideal for formal and informal concert performance. The overall performance time is around two minutes.

Teachers will enjoy using this arrangement as a fun way to help with ensemble skills and expressive playing.

In My Life by the Beatles, was released on the 1965 album, Rubber Soul. It was chiefly written and sung by John Lennon, who claimed it was his first serious attempt at personal song-writing. The song features a baroque style piano solo by George Martin. The tempo was too fast for him to perform it, so he played it at half tempo and layer doubled the tape speed. The resulting tinny sound gave rise to a host of copycat harpsichord solos on contemporary pop songs.

This version of In My Life is arranged as a duet for two Trumpets.

Musicians at an intermediate level will find In My Life ideal for formal and informal concert performance. Most of the duet is straightforward though the transcribed piano solo is difficult for both players; these eight bars can be skipped without affecting the overall structure of the song. The overall performance time is around two and a half minutes. The full YouTube performance above is the Clarinet Duet version of In My Life.

Teachers will enjoy using this arrangement as a fun way to help with ensemble skills and syncopated rhythms.

SKU: A0.589059

Help! by the Beatles, was the title track of the 1965 album of the same name. It was also the name of the Beatles’ film released in the same year. Help! was primarily written by John Lennon. In later interviews he admitted that Help! was a subconscious response to the pressures of fame and that commercial pressures had forced the band to record it as an up-tempo pop song rather than a reflective ballad.

This version of Help! is arranged as a duet for two Trumpets.

The range will suit musicians at an intermediate level though the fast tempo and syncopated rhythms will represent a challenge. The overall performance time is around two and a half minutes. The full length performance on the YouTube link above is the Clarinet version of this duet.
