A bold, fiery reimagining of the Beatles classic, this intense yet highly playable brass band arrangement of Eleanor Rigby is designed to make a big impact without over-stretching lower-level and developing bands.
Dark, rhythmic, and full of drive, the arrangement captures the haunting character of the original while transforming it into a powerful concert work that bands and audiences alike immediately connect with. Clever scoring keeps the band supported throughout, allowing the music to sound confident and full even with modest forces.
A central improvised solo section adds excitement and flexibility, offering bands the chance to feature a soloist while keeping the structure secure and accessible. This makes the piece equally effective as a showcase moment or a fully integrated ensemble feature.
Ideal for concerts, entertainment contests, and programmes that need a guaranteed audience-pleaser, Eleanor Rigby delivers familiar material with a fresh, modern edge — dramatic, engaging, and hugely effective.
Suitable for:
• Lower-level and developing brass bands
• Concert and entertainment programmes
• Bands looking for impact with achievable demands
