Brass Quintet

When Doves Cry
by Prince
arr. Zack Smith
Price: $15

Transposed parts can be ordered.


Cool version of this funk-flavored Prince hit.  It begins with Trumpet 1 playing the iconic opening guitar lick, then it moves into a reasonably faithful version of the song.  At the third verse there is a deep reharmonization of the melody, then it moves into the end vamp with trumpet 1 and trombone soloing together.  Very cool -- and people will recognize it.  Medium level of difficulty (a couple high notes in the trombone and French horn).

Listen to a synthesized sound clip.
