"Tico Tico" By Zequinha de Abreu

#americanmusic #music #army

The United States Air Force Concert Band is thrilled to release our rendition of "Tico Tico" arranged for five French horns! Short for "Tico-Tico No Fuba" (Sparrow in the Cornmeal), the tune was first written by Brazilian composer Zequinha de Abreu in 1917. Since then, it's been covered by artists from all over the world, including Ethel Smith, the Andrews Sisters, and Carmen Miranda. This version is an adaption of a horn-choir arrangement by Roger Harvey featured on the 2009 album "The London Horn Sound". We hope you enjoy our brass-tastic version of a timeless classic!
