Product Description

"Monsters" is a song by English singer-songwriter James Blunt. It was written by Blunt, Amy Wadge and Jimmy Hogarth for Blunt's sixth studio album, Once Upon a Mind (2019). It was released as the fourth single from the album on 1 November 2019.

Blunt chose to donate all of the profit made from the song to Help for Heroes and British Legion charities.

James Blunt's father Charles, himself a kidney donor, was diagnosed with stage four chronic kidney disease. Blunt wrote "Monsters" to "express his feelings about his father and his illness, almost as if it's a touching farewell to his father". In an interview with Good Morning Britain, Blunt said:

Really that has been an amazing moment. Because when you realise your father's mortality it's a great opportunity to say the things I'd like to say to him. So I have written a song called Monsters for him.

I could not resist in transcribing this deep song for a brass quintet. The synopsis above (provided by Wikipedia) provides the context in which the music is to be approached and played. I wanted to add percussion, but then decided that those who want to add percussion can do so.

May you equally enjoy and appreciate this version of Monsters.
