POP HITS medium-easy
4 Don't Stop Me Now—Freddie Mercury/arr. Paul
Murtha. The music of the rock group Queen is
always fun to play - particularly this hit featuring
solo alto sax in the slow opening, then the full band
rockin' out in the fast section. There's a short solo
for alto sax, then a return to the slow tempo for a
dramatic finish.

Enter Sandman—arr. Roger Holmes. From heavy
metal masters Metallica, this 1991 hit is one your
players can really cut loose on. Arranged here as a
feature for guitar, performance options are provided
for bands without guitar. All of the signature lines
are still here for a rockin' good time!
10023031 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . . . . . . . 45.00
Faith (from "Sing")—arr. Paul Murtha. From
the blockbuster animated film "Sing," comes
this driving rock tune that was recorded by
the legendary Stevie Wonder with current pop
sensation Ariana Grande. Here's a funky version for
jazz band featuring an energetic groove and solid
writing for the entire ensemble. Written or ad lib
solo space for trumpet is provided along with chord/
scale sheets in all keys and written-out bass lines
and piano voicings. Highly recommended!
10759348 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . . . . . . . 45.00
Finesse—Bruno Mars/arr. John Wasson. Here's
another in a long line of monster pop hits from
Bruno Mars! Finesse uses a funky hip-hop shuffle
style along with infectious harmonies and catchy
riffs. Every section gets a workout, and there's
a short written or improvised solo for trumpet.
Highly recommended!
10909000 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . . . . . . . 45.00
Forget You—arr. Paul Murtha. With a sound
similar to the pop hits of the 1960s, this upbeat
tune was a huge hit by Cee Lo Green and also
featured on the TV show Glee, performed by
Gwyneth Paltrow. This effective chart for younger
players features a suggested tenor sax solo in the
beginning, which is then joined by the entire sax
section. The brass get their chance, a modulation
kicks in, and things transition to high gear to finish
up. Highly recommended!
10317270 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . . . . . . . 45.00
Free Ride—arr. John Wasson. Recorded by
the Edgar Winter Group in 1973, this driving
rock tune has a powerful contemporary edge
that remains popular today. This terrific chart is
propelled by a driving pulse and the signature
melodies and riffs from the original. The dynamic
level is almost full bore until the suggested or
improvised solo for trumpet. After the solo the
dynamics drop down and the whole thing begins
to build again! Everyone gets the melody at
some point, chord/scale solo sheets in all keys,
fully notated bass lines and piano voicings are
included. Highly recommended!
10667342 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . . . . . . . 45.00
Gimme Some Lovin'—arr. Roger Holmes.
Recorded in 1966 by the Spencer Davis Group,
this classic rock hit is a true icon of the era and
still popular today. This powerful arrangement
features the signature bass riff and familiar style
and melodies from the original.
10908994 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . . . . . . . 45.00
H Gonna Fly Now (Theme from "Rocky")—Bill
Conti/arr. Victor Lopez. The theme from "Rocky"
is inspiring, triumphant, powerful and noble! This
rock-style chart is scored for younger players with
the familiar Maynard Ferguson-flavored solo. The
lead trumpet range is to written A above the staff. It
also includes a written or improvised tenor solo and
options for reduced or expanded instrumentations.
Gonna Fly Now is a great classic that should be in
all jazz ensemble libraries!
10028091 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . . . . . . . 48.00
Hard to Handle—arr. Paul Murtha. Hard to
Handle is a funk classic originally recorded by Otis
Redding back in the '60s and later covered by The
Black Crowes. Playable by developing groups,
Paul Murtha's chart has the fire and energy of the
original. The solo section is open for anyone, but
written samples are provided for alto sax, trumpet
and trombone. A great groove on this one!
11100164 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . . . . . . . 45.00
Heathens—arr. Dallas Burke & Allen Gray. This
hit from the group Twenty One Pilots starts off as
an elegant ballad and heats up halfway through the
chart to a powerful, exciting rock tune. There are no
solo sections in this chart, but the drummer does
have short featured solo fills before the big finish.
Optional parts for flute, clarinet and horn in F are
included for expanded instrumentation.
11000478 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . . . . . . . 65.00
H
Hooked on a Feeling—arr. Paul Murtha.
Recorded by Blue Swede in 1974, this familiar
hit was featured prominently in the blockbuster
movie "Guardians of the Galaxy" as part of the
film's "Awesome Mix." Instantly recognizable
with the "ooga chaka" jungle chant, the popularity
of this easy-going rocker is now reaching a new
generation! Fun for all!
10490291 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . . . . . . . 45.00
I Dreamed a Dream (from "Les Miserables")—
arr. Roger Holmes. Here's the touching ballad from
the landmark musical and recent motion picture
"Les Miserables" in a nicely paced and solidly
scored arrangement for younger jazz ensembles.
With no solos, it's a beautiful change of pace for
any performance occasion. Highly recommended!
10374174 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . . . . . . . 45.00
H I Want You Back—arr. John Wasson. The
music of The Jackson 5 remains as popular today
as ever. Here is one of their biggest hits from the
Motown era in a funky arrangement that is skillfully
scored for the entire ensemble. No solos, just solid
ensemble writing!
10297517 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . . . . . . . 45.00
In Summer (from "Frozen")—arr. Rick Stitzel.
From Disney's animated hit movie "Frozen" and
sung by Olaf the snowman, this entertaining song
features a light soft-shoe style that adapts quite
naturally for jazz bands. Easy-going and restrained
at first, the arrangement builds for more excitement
as it progresses. With skillful trading of the melody
between sections and slipping into a straight-ahead
swing style, this chart is sure to be a hit with players
and audiences! Great anytime of the year!
10490293 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . . . . . . . 45.00
Knock on Wood—arr. Paul Murtha. Although
originally recorded by Eddie Floyd in 1966, Knock
on Wood has remained popular thanks to covers by
artists such as Otis Redding, David Bowie, and Eric
Clapton. Featuring powerful and solid scoring, this
dynamic version for developing players has a brief
written or ad lib solo for alto sax and is based on the
swing-shuffle hit recorded by Amii Stewart in 1979.
Highly recommended!
10909002 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . . . . . . . 45.00
Land of Make Believe—Chuck Mangione/
arr. Mike Story. Chuck Mangione's hit Land of
Make-Believe is now available for younger players!
Opening with the melody doubled by alto sax and
trumpet in a dramatic, slow tempo, the chart then
breaks into the familiar melody, style and tempo.
Plus, there's a drum solo instead of the improvised
trumpet solo making it even more accessible for
young players. The ranges are very easy and the
rhythms are slightly tricky but will lock in with
repetition. A superb chart that will really come
together and be a huge success!
10011911 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . . . . . . . 42.00
Living for the City—Stevie Wonder/arr. John
Wasson. From Stevie Wonder's acclaimed and
highly influential Innervisions album, Living for
the City features a slow, bluesy, funky groove and
memorable melodic lines. Adapted beautifully for
jazz ensemble, this chart provides feature space for
the trombone section along with powerful phrases
for the entire ensemble. A suggested or ad lib solo
is included for tenor sax. This is a hot must-have
that is highly recommended!
10617910 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . . . . . . . 45.00
Locked Out of Heaven—arr. Paul Murtha. Here's
the popular rock hit recorded by Bruno Mars in a

Megalovania (from the video game Undertale)
—Toby Fox/arr. Paul Murtha. Quirky and featuring
a bit of a retro sound, this up-tempo theme
is immediately recognizable to anyone in the
gaming world. Solidly scored with plenty of drive
and excitement, this will definitely add a little fun to
any performance!
