Sweet Dreams daveed arrangement

active experiments

Daveed, Dom, (Ben)

One Form from Jan 14 2025:
0 1 2 3 4 0 1 2 Outro

Intro
A "sweet dreams are made of these"
B "some of them want to use U"
C lyrical bridge
D "hold your head up"
repeat as desired. singing or solos on A and B only
outro (same as intro in reverse)

earlier suggested form:
intro A B C sing/solo C D A B outro

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

A, B parts should be played with a light staccato percussive feel with a driving rock beat

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

D quieter dynamics, staccato, driving rock beat with light percussion emphasis, crescendo to 3 note hit

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

Intro and outro soft, 3 and 4 soft

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...)
