By The Clash. By Joe Strummer, Mick Jones, and Topper Headon. Arranged by Hector R. Barrionuevo. Punk,Rock. 37 pages. Hector R. Barrionuevo #5750157. Published by Hector R. Barrionuevo (A0.1032612).Highly energetic, driving, dance song hit by the British rock band The Clash, from their 1982 album, Combat Rock. A chart-topping (Billboard Top 100) anthem that demands attention and provides irrepressible joy to performers and audiences alike. The original video of the song was shot in Austin, Texas.
The song structure remains, of course, the same throughout the arrangement. Both, clarinet and horn, participate in carrying Joe Strummer's unique, repetitive tune; the horn also has a prominent part in the chorus sections and often provides an insidious counter-melody. The bassoon plays the driving bass part. The flute and oboe mirror the guitar parts through accented, staccato harmony, throughout; at times, their flurries also evoke the guitar licks and sound effects.
The arrangement is appropriate to play in concerts at schools, conservatories, community centers, and museums by Intermediate-to-Advanced ensembles. The duration of the arrangement is about 3:45.
