“Take On Me” was the very first No. 1 hit by Norwegian popband a-ha. It was recorded in 1984 and became a huge success in 1985 in both UK and the United States.
The music video vas very innovative. It was broadcasted a lot on MTV which was very important for the great success.
This arrangement is challenging for all parts, both in terms of melodic and rhythmic challenges.
