By Queen. By Freddie Mercury and Frederick Mercury. Arranged by Ray Thompson. This edition: pdf. Rock. 10 pages. RayThompsonMusic #2098455. Published by RayThompsonMusic (A0.553354)."Somebody to Love" is a song by the British rock band Queen, written by the lead singer/pianist Freddie Mercury.
It debuted on the band's 1976 album A Day at the Races and was also featured on their compilation album Greatest Hits. The song offers listeners something similar to that of Queen's earlier hit "Bohemian Rhapsody" with its complex harmonies and guitar solos; however instead of mimicking an English choir, the band turned to a gospel choir.
It reached #2 in the UK and #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US.
This song made it clear to fans that "Queen could swing as hard as it could rock, by channeling the spirit of gospel music.
My arrangement does have some of the descant voice parts.
It is arranged for 2 altos, tenor and baritone sax.
