Wild World by Cat Stevens (covered by Mr Big, Maxi Priest) for Brass Band

Written by Cat Stevens and released on his 1970 album 'Tea For The Tillerman', Wild World originally reached no 11 in the charts. The covers by Maxi Priest and Mr Big were also successful, reaching no 5 in the UK, and no 4 in Denmark respectively.

This version for brass band begins in a warm, hymn-like style and gradually picks up the pace to take on a pop music energy. Bass and bass trombone parts mimic the Billy Sheehan lines from the Mr Big cover - a great chance to show off these players!
