Composer, Daniel Hall, takes a look at this 'timeles classic' arranged for band

All you need is Love is a stylish arrangement by Dorothy Gates based upon the Canadian Brass version of the timeless classic Beatles song.

Each member of the ensemble is fully immersed from the first note, whether playing the melodic lines or the harmonic secondary lines, which are just as engaged in the overall score. What’s fantastic about this arrangement is that every instrument has an interesting and involved part, therefore producing a piece that is enjoyable for all members of the band.

An audience-friendly concert piece, which is fun to perform, suitable for musicians of all standards and easy listening. Highly recommended!
