Brass Ensemble, Brass Quintet French Horn, Trombone, Trumpet, Tuba - Level 4 - Digital Download
SKU: A0.1815372
By Booker T. & The Mg's. Composed by Booker T. Jones and Steve Cropper. Arranged by Robert Whitehead. This edition: pdf. Funk, R & B. 20 pages. Gazebo Music #1375507. Published by Gazebo Music (A0.1815372).This brass quintet arrangement of Green Onions brings deep groove, gritty swagger, and unmistakable soul to the classic Booker T. & the M.G.’s hit. Built on a locked-in, bluesy feel, the chart translates the iconic riff into a tight brass setting that feels raw, hip, and irresistibly cool.
All five instruments are showcased. The signature riff is passed around the quintet, with each player stepping into the spotlight while the others lay down punchy, supportive backgrounds. Trumpets add bite and edge, the French horn and trombone deliver smoky, muscular lines, and the tuba drives the groove with a fat, confident bass line that keeps everything grounded.
The writing is rhythmically focused and idiomatic, demanding strong time feel, clean articulation, and true ensemble awareness. It’s ideal for advanced high school, collegiate, or professional quintets looking for a crowd-pleasing number that grooves hard without needing amplification.
Dirty, funky, and endlessly cool — this is Green Onions as a brass quintet arrangement where every instrument gets its moment and the groove never quits.
