By USA For Africa. By Lionel Richie and Michael Jackson. Arranged by Robert Whitehead. This edition: pdf. Pop. Score and parts. 8 pages. Gazebo Music #789971. Published by Gazebo Music (A0.1190396).This brass quintet arrangement of We Are the World turns a globally recognized anthem of unity into a resonant, chamber-style brass statement that hits with both heart and impact. The arrangement preserves the song’s message and emotional sweep while reshaping it into a polished, balanced quintet texture that sounds full, dignified, and powerful.
The melody is presented clearly and passed among the instruments, allowing different colors of the ensemble to carry the message at key moments. Warm, chorale-style passages are balanced with moments of broader, more heroic brass writing, giving the piece natural shape and emotional arc without becoming overblown.
The inner voices are carefully crafted, with smooth voice leading and rich harmonies that make the quintet sound larger than five players. The tuba provides a solid, singing foundation, while the horn and trombone add depth and warmth to the middle, and the trumpets deliver clarity and brilliance where it counts.
Best suited for advanced high school, collegiate, or professional groups, this setting works well for concerts, commemorative events, or programs centered on themes of community, hope, or social change.
Earnest, uplifting, and sonically rich — this is We Are the World as a meaningful, high-quality brass quintet piece that feels as important as the message it carries.
