Who can take a sunrise, sprinkle it with dew, cover it in chocolate… and turn it into a brass band showpiece?

This flexible quintet arrangement of “The Candy Man” captures all the sweetness, colour and playful charm of the original classic. Overflowing with confectionery character, it’s a musical pick-and-mix that audiences of every generation instantly recognise and adore.

Designed to sit comfortably with any small ensemble setup, this arrangement is:

• Sweet without being sickly

• Playful without being over-the-top

• Accessible while still musically satisfying

  
  

Perfect for family concerts, summer bandstands, themed programmes, or as a feel-good encore, The Candy Man gives players the chance to perform with character and charm — and gives audiences a nostalgic treat they’ll hum all the way home.

Bright, colourful and full of musical flavour, this is a sugar-coated crowd-pleaser that belongs in every band library.
