The mesmerising John Denver original, arranged by A.E.Veltstra for brass trio and drums.
March 5, 2014
This arrangement was first written in 2008, catered to the specific difficulty levels needed by the musicians of the student brass band of the Hoensbroek Saint Gabriel Brass Band. It never was played, because the composer and band instructor, André E. Veltstra, preferred to play a march version of the song. A music sample of that arrangement is available on this site, too.
Today, March 5, 2014, mr. Veltstra decided to make the waltz arrangement available for free. That is right: you can download the sheet music free of charge from the hyperlinks below, and play it with your band, and make additional copies and transcripts.
This arrangement is transcribed to 5 players:
1 Bb Trumpet;
1 French Horn;
1 Alto Saxophone;
1 Drumset;
1 Auxiliary Percussion,
and allows for 2 minutes of playing time.
Other transcriptions can be created on demand (for a fee). Please contact us via e-mail: "muziek (at) omegajunior . net".
Copyright of the original song "Calypso" resides with the John Denver estate. The arrangement presented here is an approximation seeking to highlight the most important themes from that song. The original plays for over 5 minutes.
