Brass Quintet

Raspberry Beret
by Prince
arr. Zack Smith
Price: $15

Transposed parts can be ordered.


Fun rendition of Prince's lively hit.  French horn has the melody the first time through, then it gets passed around through the rest of the arrangement.  This chart is pretty faithful to the original recording (no jazzy reharmonization!), and the audience should recognize it immediately.  Trumpet 1 has a written high C, and French horn goes to a written F -- other instrument ranges are moderate.  Intermediate difficulty.

Listen to a synthesized sound clip.
