Arranged standard wind quintet

Yesterday is a song by English rock band the Beatles written by Paul McCartney (credited to Lennon–McCartney) first released on the album Help! in the United Kingdom in August 1965.

Yesterday, with the B-side Act Naturally, was released as a single in the United States in September 1965. While it topped the American chart in October the song also hit the British top 10 in a cover version by Matt Monro.

The song also appeared on the UK EP Yesterday in March 1966 and the Beatles' US album Yesterday and Today released in June 1966.

McCartney's vocal and acoustic guitar, together with a string quartet, essentially made for the first solo performance of the band. It remains popular today with more than 2,200 cover versions and is one of the most covered songs in the history of recorded music.

My arrangement differs from others you may find.
Rather than giving the tune to one player, I have given it in turn to oboe, horn, flute and tutti.
The flute enters after the 1st verse.
The accompaning parts are not simply block chords, but are varied and full of interest to each player.

The chorus section is treat as a chorale, with all the players playing.

This is the wind quintet version you need!
