By Wilson Pickett. By Steve Cropper and Wilson Pickett. Arranged by Robert Whitehead. This edition: pdf. R & B. 8 pages. Gazebo Music #1081655. Published by Gazebo Music (A0.1506277).This funky brass quintet arrangement of In the Midnight Hour brings raw groove, punchy brass energy, and slick syncopation to the stage. The chart captures the soulful drive of the Wilson Pickett classic while reshaping it into a modern, rhythmically charged chamber brass setting that feels natural and powerful.
A standout feature of this arrangement is its spotlight on the French horn and trombone, both of which are given prominent melodic and soloistic moments. The horn adds a warm, edgy funk color, while the trombone delivers gritty, swagger-filled lines that cut through the texture and fuel the groove.
The ensemble writing is tight, rhythmic, and brass-savvy, with sharp stabs, layered backgrounds, and interlocking figures that keep all five players actively engaged. The groove is relentless, the accents are crisp, and the harmonic language blends classic soul with contemporary brass flair.
Best suited for advanced high school, collegiate, or professional groups, this chart is perfect for concerts, festivals, or any program that needs high-octane funk with serious brass attitude.
Deep pocket, hard groove, and horn-forward — this is In the Midnight Hour as a fiery brass quintet showpiece.
