Detailed Description
SKU: A0.567355
By Queen. By Freddie Mercury and John Deacon. Arranged by Sjoerd van der Veen. This edition: pdf, streaming. Chamber, Contest, Festival, Pop, Rock, Wedding. 10 pages. Sjoerd van der Veen #176764. Published by Sjoerd van der Veen (A0.567355).Bring the anthemic rock energy of Queen to the chamber music stage with this magnificent arrangement of Friends Will Be Friends, masterfully reimagined for Woodwind Quintet by Sjoerd van der Veen.
Originally released in 1986 on the album A Kind of Magic and co-written by Freddie Mercury and John Deacon, this timeless classic is the ultimate song of companionship and solidarity.
True to Sjoerd's signature arranging style, this version avoids relying on drums for rhythm. Instead, the powerful, driving pop-rock pulse, the majestic stadium harmonies, and Freddie's legendary lyrical lines are beautifully shared across all five instruments. From the soaring heights of the flute and oboe to the rich, resonant backing lines in the clarinet, horn, and bassoon, every musician plays a vital role. It’s a wonderfully engaging piece to play and serves as an unforgettable, uplifting addition to any concert program, wedding gig, or encore!
