Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) by The Eurythmics Marching Band - Digital Sheet Music

By The Eurythmics

First released in 1983, Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) became the breakthrough hit for the British duo Eurythmics and remains one of the most recognisable synth‑pop tracks of the 1980s. Built on its iconic electronic ostinato and the cool, commanding vocal style of Annie Lennox, the song helped define the sound of a decade and has since become a cultural touchstone, appearing in films, television, and countless cover versions.In this concert band arrangement, the distinctive electronic textures of the original are reimagined through the colours of the wind, brass, and percussion sections. The driving rhythmic pulse is carried by low brass and percussion, while upper woodwinds and trumpets take on the role of the original synthesiser lines. Carefully layered harmonies recreate the hypnotic, looping quality of the track, giving the ensemble a chance to explore both precision and atmosphere.The arrangement balances faithfulness to the original with opportunities for expressive shaping, dynamic contrast, and ensemble cohesion. Audiences will recognise the unmistakable groove immediately, but they’ll also hear the piece transformed—expanded into a rich, acoustic sound world that highlights the versatility and power of the concert band.
