Discovery Plus Concert Band - Grade 2
The music of Queen has endured for decades and become a part of pop music culture. Often used in movies or commercials, this signature rock anthem can now be enjoyed by younger players. This arrangement proves that rock music can demonstrate musicality and teaching value.

Great arrangement! I loved the bell tones in the trumpets, and the horn parts were beautiful. It's great that younger musicians can now experience first hand the magic and amazement of Queen and Freddie Mercury. Thank you for sharing!

[@vmithrandirjr9162]

As a Clarinetist, I agree. We are barely ever heard, unless its a solo, but even then it's never a solo, just us and the flutes, maybe an oboe. I remember once when we had an ocarina in one of our songs.

[@jaylux5556]

​@@moisty_cow622 skill issue. But I'm all seriousness, us saxes really are very very loud due to us being able to push air through the horn very easily and the fact that our horn points directly up and out 😂
