Program Notes
Penny Lane is one of the most popular and recognizable songs from the vast output of The Beatles. It was released in February 1967 as a double a-side with Strawberry Fields Forever, in what has been described as the greatest single ever released. The single found The Beatles at their artistic and creative peak, and Penny Lane -- as much as any of their songs released in 1967 -- summed up the technicolor world that burst forth from the monochrome early 1960's, and the positive spirit that anything was possible.
- Program Note from publisher
Penny Lane is a song by the English rock band the Beatles that was released in February 1967 as a double A-side single with Strawberry Fields Forever. It was written primarily by Paul McCartney and credited to the Lennon–McCartney songwriting partnership. The lyrics refer to Penny Lane, a street in Liverpool, and make mention of the sights and characters that McCartney recalled from his upbringing in the city.
- Program Note from Wikipedia
This work is a signature tune of the Canadian Brass, notable especially for the high, virtuosic piccolo trumpet obligato solo.
