Come Sail Away by Styx Brass Quintet - Digital Sheet Music
By StyxThis brass quintet arrangement of Come Sail Away delivers a powerful, high-octane take on the Styx classic, built around a virtuosic first trumpet part intended for piccolo or E♭ trumpet. The chart leans into the song’s soaring, cinematic character while translating its rock energy into a brilliant, technically commanding brass setting.The first trumpet is front and center throughout, with a demanding, upper-register lead that requires control, endurance, and precision — this is not a casual part. Rapid articulations, dramatic fanfares, and soaring melodic statements make it a showcase for a confident lead player who wants to be pushed.Beneath the lead, the quintet writing is tightly voiced, rhythmically charged, and harmonically bold, capturing the drive of the original recording while exploiting the color and punch of a chamber brass ensemble. The lower parts provide a solid, rhythmic engine with moments of dramatic impact that keep the full group engaged.
