Product Description
Wouldn't It Be Nice, words and music by Brian Wilson, Tony Asher and Mike Love, arranged by Paul Burnell for instruments in four parts.
Duration 2:35
The arrangement is suitable for multiple quartet combinations with parts available (and potential instrumentations suggested) as follows:
Part 1: C, Bb (flute, oboe, Bb clarinet, trumpet/cornet, violin)
Part 2: C, Bb (oboe, Bb clarinet, trumpet/cornet, violin)
Part 3: C - alto & treble clefs, Bb, F, Eb (Bb clarinet, alto saxophone, horn in F, tenor horn, viola)
Part 4: C - bass clef, treble clef in Bb (bassoon, tenor saxophone, trombone, 'cello)
Any other appropriate instruments, even if not suggested above, may play.
Although the score is presented with layout appropriate for a brass quartet of two Cornets in Bb, Tenor horn in Eb and Trombone in treble clef with Bb transposition this does not indicate a preferred instrumentation.
In this arrangement the song has been transposed up a diminished fifth from the original key.
Programme note:
'Wouldn't It Be Nice' is a song written by Brian Wilson, Tony Asher, and Mike Love for the American band the Beach Boys. It was featured as the opening track on their 1966 album 'Pet Sounds' and released as a single two months after the album's release.
