Sweet Dreams (are Made Of This) (arr. David R. Peoples) by Eurythmics Sheet Music for Percussion Ensemble at Sheet Music Direct

Product Details

Product Description

Annie Lennox and David Stewart had recently ended their relationship and disbanded their band. They still worked together - and built this song in a tiny warehouse using whatever technology they could get their hands on. In a day where most music was produced in the large studios backed by industry money - they pioneered a hit without the big studio. Securing a loan, they procured essential equipmenta compact setup comprising an 8-track tape recorder, mixer, effects processors, synthesizers, a drum computer, and a compact dynamic microphone.

Some of the emotions from their lives went into the song - a fresh start on the heels of emotional events. Reflecting on that period, Lennox candidly remarked, I was feeling very vulnerable. The song was an expression of how I felt: hopeless and nihilistic.

This version is not a cover. Fragments of musical elements are translated into the ensemble. While occasionally exhibiting moments of dance, the composition evolves into a more profound expression, capitalizing on the musical possibilities of a percussion ensemble. This arrangement was crafted for the University of North Georgias percussion ensemble, directed by Dr. Steven Walker.
