Our House - Brass Quintet Arrangement
This brass ensemble arrangement of Our House by Madness brings one of the most iconic British pop hits of the 1980s into a bold, live performance setting. First released in 1982, Our House quickly became a defining track of the ska and pop movement, known for its infectious groove, upbeat lyrics and instantly recognisable melody. It remains a favourite at parties, weddings and community events, guaranteed to connect with audiences of all ages.
Arranged for trumpets, horn, trombone, tuba and drum kit, this version captures the lively character of the original while adapting it for a more traditional brass ensemble setup. The trumpets carry the signature riffs and vocal lines with brightness and clarity, while the horn and trombone add warmth and depth to the harmony. The tuba provides a solid bass foundation, and the drum kit drives the ska rhythm forward with energy and precision.
This arrangement is suitable for intermediate/advanced players and above, making it an excellent choice for school ensembles, community groups and professional brass bands wanting to add a high-energy, crowd-pleasing number to their repertoire. It works particularly well for weddings, corporate events, festivals and parties where audience engagement is key.
A must-have piece for any group looking to add a touch of ska flavour and nostalgia to their set while giving audiences a song theyll instantly sing along to.
