This high-energy brass quintet arrangement of Ozzy Osbourne’s “Crazy Train” brings the iconic opening riff and driving rock groove into an exciting chamber setting. Written at an advanced-intermediate level, the arrangement is well suited for strong high school ensembles, college groups, and professional quintets.

A featured trumpet solo replaces the original guitar solo, while all parts remain in practical ranges for developing and advanced players. The primary challenge lies in rhythmic precision and syncopation rather than extreme range or endurance. Ideal for 

• pops concerts, 

• outreach performances, 

• encore selections

• programs seeking a powerful contemporary contrast.

The recording includes a drum track for stylistic reference; the piece may be performed without percussion, or with a drummer playing a straight rock groove.

Duration: 3-4 minutes

Difficulty: Advanced Intermediate
