SKU: A0.1137760
By Queen. By Freddie Mercury and John Deacon. Arranged by Sjoerd van der Veen. This edition: pdf, streaming. Chamber, Contest, Festival, Pop, Rock, Wedding. 7 pages. Sjoerd van der Veen #738013. Published by Sjoerd van der Veen (A0.1137760).Bring the epic stadium-rock energy of Queen to your ensemble with this magnificent arrangement of Friends Will Be Friends, masterfully reimagined for Horn Quartet (4 Horns in F) by Sjoerd van der Veen.
Originally co-written by Freddie Mercury and John Deacon for the 1986 album A Kind of Magic, this timeless anthem celebrates the true power of companionship and solidarity.
This arrangement expertly leverages the noble, rich, and powerful sonority of the horn ensemble to capture both the driving pop-rock pulse and the majestic anthemic harmonies of the original hit - entirely without the need for drums. True to Sjoerd's distinctive arranging style, the soaring lyricism of Freddie's lead vocals and the iconic guitar riffs are beautifully shared across all four parts rather than staying in a single voice. From the robust, foundational lower lines to the expressive upper register solos, every horn player is fully engaged. It is incredibly rewarding to play and serves as an uplifting crowd-pleaser, wedding choice, or high-energy encore for any recital!
