As performed by Tredegar Town BandĀ atĀ Brass In Concert 2014Ā in their 3rd place winning program,Ā With A Little Help From My FriendsĀ is a transcription/arrangement of theĀ ProBrassĀ version. This arrangement helpedĀ Dewi GriffithsĀ secure the Best Principal Cornet prize and requires a soloist that can either improvise, or capable of playingĀ Thomas GanschĀ style blues licks as in the original solo, which is also included with the parts.
This arrangement begins with aĀ piccolo trumpet duoĀ (also playable on Soprano and Bb Cornet) in aĀ baroqueĀ style, then building to a massiveĀ 6/8 power balladĀ entrance, followed by aĀ bluesy solo trumpetĀ feature. More building to a big section requiring the soloist to unleash theirĀ inner rock godĀ follows, then back down to aĀ sedate bluesĀ where aĀ solo trombonistĀ joins in the antics. The ending is a trickyĀ metric modulation, where the 6/8 turns into a rock 4/4 and brings inĀ the big gunsĀ (the bass section) with some hard hitting lines. Feel free to allow yourĀ drummerĀ to ad lib. as much of this piece as you dare!
Beautifully laid out inĀ A4Ā size, the score and parts are easy to read and available NOWĀ for digital download. We suggest you print on 80gsmĀ paper, to ensure that the copies last longer in your bands library. If you're printing on letter size paper, please fit to page when sending to the printer.
