For Woodwind Quintet
Captivate your audiences with this intermediate arrangement for woodwind quintet of the classic Journey song "Don't Stop Believin'"--instantly downloadable for your next performance. Inspired by the Glee TV series remake of this legendary song in 2009, this arrangement is perfect for weddings, Pops concerts, educational outreach, children's concerts, and some recitals. It is written for most ensembles, including upper-level high school and college ensembles, as well as professional quintets. As always, I've included an alternate bass clarinet part in lieu of a missing bassoon.
In 1981, Journey members Jonathan Cain, Steve Perry, and Neal Schon wrote what would become one of their most popular tunes of all time, "Don't Stop Believin'." This mid-tempo rock anthem, with a rolling eighth-note piano ostinato (now in the Bassoon part), delayed chorus, and driving, repetitive melodic motion, thrills listeners and leaves them wanting more. This worldwide multi-platinum hit is a sure crowd-pleaser; your audiences will thank you! Originally scored for a rock band, I hope you enjoy this unique setting for winds.
