'Purple Rain' is a song by the American musician Prince from 1984. He was the title song of the album of the same name, which in turn was the soundtrack to the musical film. Of course, this movie starred none other than Prince. The soundtrack won the Oscar for best film score, and the song also won the Grammy. 'Purple Rain' was the big international breakthrough for Prince. The singer shaped the pop music of the 1980s by mixing the most diverse musical genres - from funk to pop, from rock to blues. Heinz Briegel has arranged this successful title for wind band.

'Purple Rain' is published in the RUNDEL series 'Rock & Wind Band', which adds the instrumentation of a rock band to the wind band. There is also an optional vocal part (solo with background choir), which is alternatively notated as a solo in alto saxophone.
