This arrangement of the Gonna Fly Now from the movie Rocky is part of qPress’s exclusive Louis Dowdeswell Big Band Series. The series features Callum Au’s outstanding arrangements for world-renowned trumpeter Louis Dowdeswell and his big band.

The Rocky movies simply wouldn’t be the same without their theme song, “Gonna Fly Now”. The song is characterized by its uplifting and motivating melody, often associated with the image of Rocky Balboa triumphantly running up the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. This arrangement puts the lead trumpet in the middle of the ring, just like Rocky in the movies.
