Arranged by Austin Ralphson. Pop. Score and parts. 35 pages. Austin Ralphson #1924549. Published by Austin Ralphson (A0.563098)."Uptown Funk" is a song recorded by British producer Mark Ronson, with vocals from American singer Bruno Mars, for Ronson's fourth studio album, Uptown Special (2015). The song was also a global commercial success, spending fourteen consecutive weeks at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, seven non-consecutive weeks at number one on the UK Singles Chart, and topped the charts in several other countries including Australia, Canada, France, Ireland and New Zealand. The song is heavily influenced by the Minneapolis sound of the early 1980s, pioneered by Prince, The Time with Morris Day, and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis with a touch of boogie of The Gap Band, and Zapp and a slight modern EDM twist. This arrangement is challenging for brass ensemble, but sounds great when rehearsed up. You'll need a particularly funky tuba player!
