Stand by Me: Arr. (Roland Kernen): Concert Band

Stand By Me, perhaps Ben E. King’s greatest hit ever, was first released in 1961 as the b-side of a single, but as it soon went to number one on the R&B charts and to number one of the pop charts, the single was released again with Stand By Me as the a-side. In 1986 it was re-released again, on the release of the movie by the same name, and it is also well-known through countless cover versions by famous singers. Now, Stand By Me is available for a flexible five part instrumentation.
