"Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)" is a song by the Beatles from their 1965 album 'Rubber Soul'. It was written mainly by John Lennon, with lyrical contributions from Paul McCartney, and credited to the Lennon–McCartney partnership. The song was a number 1 hit in Australia when released in 1966, coupled with "Nowhere Man". The song's lyrics are about an extramarital affair that John Lennon was involved in, as hinted in the opening couplet: "I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me", although Lennon never revealed with whom he had the affair. Paul McCartney explained that the term "Norwegian Wood" was an ironic reference to the cheap pine wall panelling then in vogue in London. Rolling Stone magazine ranked "Norwegian Wood" number 83 on its 2004 list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time". This arrangement for concert band, drawn from the jazz ensemble chart by Michael Sweeney, offers a lovely solo opportunity for alto sax (chords and suggested line provided) and is part of a project to bring more music by British artists into the worldwide band repertoire #arrangemegoals2025.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard’s global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
