By Procol Harum. By Gary Brooker, Keith Reid, and Matthew Fisher. Arranged by Peet du Toit. Rock. 11 pages. Peet du Toit #956459. Published by Peet du Toit (A0.1372181)."A Whiter Shade of Pale" is the debut single by the English rock band Procol Harum, released 12 May 1967. The single reached number 1 in the UK Singles Chart on 8 June 1967 and stayed there for six weeks. Without much promotion, it reached number 5 on the US Billboard Hot 100. One of the anthems of the 1967 Summer of Love, it is one of the most commercially successful singles in history, having sold more than 10 million copies worldwide.
Keith Reid got the title and starting point for the song at a party. He overheard someone at the party saying to a woman, "You've turned a whiter shade of pale", and the phrase stuck in his mind.
Here is my representation of this magical music to be performed by a brass quintet and a percussionist. Enjoy!
