In September 2014, American pop rock band Walk The Moon released an instant hit, a song that captivated listeners the world over, and drew everybody to the dance floor. The song?
Shut Up and Dance
This instant classic has all the hallmarks of earlier pop wonderhits; a strong, poppy beat, a catchy melody, a memorable chorus, a great title, and brilliant music throughout. Shut Up and Dance became the band's biggest hit in the US, peaking at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reaching the top 10 in a multitude of contries across the globe.
This new arrangement from Matt Shaw effortlessly brings everything from the original 2014 song into the sound world of the brass band. Arranged for British-style brass band, with kit, timpani, vibraphone, glockenspiel and tambourine, this arrangement of Shut Up and Dance will be an instant hit in concert performances. Opening with flugel, horns and baritones playing the initial riff, this arrangement has features for solo trombone, flugelhorn, euphonium and solo cornets, with that recognisable bass line being carried by EEb and BBb basses and bass trombone. The brilliant synthesizer solo is expertly transcribed for the powerhouse duo of solo euphonium and soprano cornet, with percussion bringing hints of guitar and keyboards throughout.
This arrangement will prove to be a great addition to your band's repertoire, and will delight audiences and performers again and again.
Arrangement by Matt Shaw, from Nova Vocem Music.
