Sukiyaki

This beautiful song was already a great hit in Japan before its American debut in 1963, under the alternative title Sukiyaki. The most famous English-language cover version is by the pop group A Taste of Honey in 1980.

In this arrangement thewell-known melody is presented by the different instrument parts, as it goes from a slowly intro into a faster 2-beats tempo with a slightly swing feel.

The arrangement is for flexible instrumentation in the popular series SHOWBLOW, and it cantherefore be played by a clean or mixed quintet, but also by a full brass/concert band.
