Sweet Dreams daveed arrangement

Sweet Dreams daveed arrangement

active experiments

Daveed, Dom, (Ben)

Basic form:
0 1 2 3 4 0 1 2 Outro

Important!
Section 0 has 8 bars total, 4 bars repeated ( the left repeat bracket, at start, is not shown!) and the first time we play it is stacking: 2 bars tuba only, then 2 bars add bones, then 4 bars everybody! The second time we play 0 everybody plays whole thing all 8 bars.

0 Intro
1 "sweet dreams are made of these"
2 "some of them want to use U"
3 lyrical bridge
4 "hold your head up"

(Outro is same as 0 first time through, but unstacking)

We ignore the written repeats around sections 1-2-3!

Intro stacked bass drum + tuba, bones, sax+trumpets, percussion

1, 2 parts should be played with a light staccato percussive feel with a driving rock beat

3 section lyrical bridge rhythm changes to flowing "3 clave" pattern. there is an option for a lyrical soprano saxophone solo over the top

4 quieter dynamics, staccato, driving rock beat with light percussion emphasis, crescendo to /loud three-note hits at end then enter 0 soft again

Outro repeats intro. last 4 bars bass drum tuba trombone only.

Soft and loud dynamics!

Intro and outro soft, 1 and 2 louder, 3 and 4 soft (except melody instr)

By The Eurythmics, The Soul Rebels Brass Band style arrangement without the slow into

3 minute high energy tune with lots of rhythmic interest

This version has split sectional rhythmic lines to make it less tiring to play

Eb

charts

Sweet dreams are made of these
who am I to disagree
traveled the world and the seven seas
everybody is looking for something
some of them want to use you
some of them want to be used by you
some of them want to abuse you
some of them want to be abused

version 1.1 has a more definitive ending
sax lines in section 2 is really just syncopated and harmonized line from intro. intro line will also work here (but I doesn't sound as cool...)
