Again from the 1978 "Jazz" album, "Fat Bottomed Girls" has been brilliantly arranged for brass band to maintain its heavy rock feel. The trombones provide that edgy, raw sound whilst the soprano has a virtuosic solo which powers the piece to an awe-inspiring fortissimo conclusion.
Playable by 2nd. Section band upwards.
This piece is designed to constitute a three movement "Queen Suite" or tribute. The two other pieces being : "Don't Stop Me Now" and "Who Wants to Live Forever".

"Fields of Gold is one of the biggest hits by British singer and composer Sting. It was released for the first time in 1993 on his album record Ten Summoner’s Tales, the first of several recordings both from the studio and live.
It’s also the most covered song by Sting. The probably most famous version is by American singer Eva Cassidy on her compilation Songbird (1998), release after her death in 1996.
This arrangement was written for Askøy Brass Band for their participation in Siddis Brass – a Norwegian Brass in Concert competition"

Springsteen wrote this song when he, because of a conflict with his former manager, was unable to record albums. He sent it to Elvis Presley who unfortunately died before he had recorded it, however the song did find great success when the Pointer Sisters released it in 1978. Although the Boss himself released a stirring live version in the middle of the eighties, it is the Pointer Sisters’ version Peter Kleine Schaars has based this superb arrangement on.
