By The Beatles. By John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Arranged by John Ivor Holland. This edition: pdf, streaming. 20th Century, Film/TV, Pop. 88 pages. John Ivor Holland #1421800. Published by John Ivor Holland (A0.1863275).
"Strawberry Fields Forever" is a song by The Beatles, written by John Lennon and credited to the Lennon–McCartney partnership. It was released on 13 February 1967 as a double A-side single with "Penny Lane". It represented a departure from the group's previous singles and a novel listening experience for the contemporary pop audience. While the song initially divided and confused music critics and the group's fans, it proved highly influential on the emerging psychedelic genre. Lennon based the song on his childhood memories of playing in the garden of Strawberry Field, a Salvation Army children's home in Liverpool. Lennon viewed "Strawberry Fields Forever" as his finest work with the Beatles. After Lennon's murder in New York City, a section of Central Park was named after the song. "Penny Lane" was written primarily by Paul McCartney and also credited to the partnership. The lyrics refer to Penny Lane, a street in Liverpool, and make mention of the sights and characters that McCartney recalled from his upbringing in the city. He was dissatisfied with the initial attempts at the song's instrumental fill, and was inspired to use a piccolo trumpet after seeing trumpeter David Mason play the instrument during a BBC television broadcast of the second Brandenburg Concerto by Johann Sebastian Bach. Mason was paid £27 and 10 shillings for the session and achieved international renown for his performance. In author Mark Hertsgaard's description, the trumpet solo is the recording's "pièce de résistance" and evokes a "sense of freedom, energy, and sheer happiness". This arrangement for concert band of the two songs back-to-back features the famous piccolo trumpet solo and is sure to be a hit with audiences young and old.
