Flugelhornists really dig playing in Quasi French Horn mode, from time to time. And this is one of those times.
This pop hit, which in 1999 peaked at #85 here in Australia, even features a trumpet solo in the middle.
Commentary on the original trumpet solo from the Ultimate Euthythmics Archive site:
The power of [producer Andy Wright’s] system is amply illustrated by the trumpet part on ‘I Saved The World Today’. At an early stage of the production they recorded some trumpet jamming along with the track, but the part wasn’t really very well structured, so Andy set to work editing it into shape. He extensively reordered the elements within the two available takes and from these snippets, some less than half a bar long, he constructed the entire solo.
I’d say it’s a very well-constructed solo now! Sadly the original musician was not credited in the liner notes, as happens all too often. But, whoever you are, we thank you for your artistry.

Hi Gary,
you have a very good playlist. A question: Is it possible to get the sheets completely (vocals, rythm section, 2 Trumpets, Tenor and barisax)? Thank you for answering and kind regards from Germany.

Thanks very much, Thomas. I’m glad you like it.
On this blog I share charts (sheets) that I’ve made for my own purposes. I didn’t need the instrumentation that you’ve mentioned, so I didn’t create them. I keep very busy with my own projects, so don’t offer a service to do further work for others. But I hope that my charts will give you a strong foundation upon which you could create your own.
Cheers from Sydney, Australia.
Gary.
