The final Allegro is truly the highlight of the piece and Mr. Schultz has extended the final section to allow for a breathtaking finale taking the soloist to the last figure which ends on a high D concert. All the soloists ornaments have been carefully notated as they appear on the CD. |

Duration: 3:05 |
| For years, trumpet players have aligned themselves with solo singers, especially sopranos, to perform the great Baroque repertoire for trumpet and voice. Organ reductions were created to replace the string parts making this great pairing more portable. Now these terrific trumpet and voice duets can be played by a standard brass quintet. The solo trumpet part remains the same (also allowing for performance on natural trumpet) and the remainder of the quintet performs the string parts. The 2nd trumpet performs on flugel horn to create a greater cohesion within the ensemble allowing for the bright piccolo (or natural) trumpet sound to float above the ensemble in duet with the soprano. |

The solo trumpet part remains the same (also allowing for performance on natural trumpet) and the remainder of the quintet performs the string parts. The 2nd trumpet performs on flugel horn to create a greater cohesion within the ensemble allowing for the bright piccolo (or natural) trumpet sound to float above the ensemble in duet with the soprano. |

8 Trumpets, Organ and Timpani |
| TE2274 |
Price: $20.00 |
Duration: 4:25 |
| Originally this work was scored for 8 natural or Baroque trumpets, timpani and basso continuo. Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber wrote this piece for choirs of trumpets that were instructed to stand separate to make the best use of the antiphonal effect. This piece was intended for natural trumpets (in C). This arrangement has altered some pitches to allow for better performance on modern trumpets (notes are included that are impossible to play on a natural instrument). There are organ cues in Trumpets 3,4 and 7,8 to allow this piece to be performed without an organ. There must be a bass trumpet (baritone or bassoon) playing to provide the crucial bass line. Also provided in this edition are optional organ and bass trumpet parts in several keys to allow this work to be performed in Bb, C or D. This allows for greater flexibility of performing opportunities ranging from B-flat trumpets to Piccolo and D trumpets in the brilliant key of D. |

| Icy Nights is a spatial piece. Whatever the venue, the first horn player can be next to the piano, on stage, in the traditional manner. The second horn can be placed in a gallery behind the audience, or off stage, or in view at the side of the stage. Contemporary and effective, this offers something new a different to a pair of horns and piano on a recital. |

| Noticing a lack of original Canadian jazz for brass quintet, Ward Cole wrote this piece for Foothills Brass in 1985. He based his Bobtail Suite on a couple of his beautiful English Sheepdogs: Pan and Cyndi. Pan was tragically killed which led Ward to write his mournful Lament. Cyndi liked to strut around like a show dog. He completed the suite by writing Jasper & Yogi, a musical description of a couple of rowdy and comical English Sheepdogs owned by a friend. |

Duration: 1:50 |
| For years, trumpet players have aligned themselves with solo singers, especially sopranos, to perform the great Baroque repertoire for trumpet and voice. Organ reductions were created to replace the string parts making this great pairing more portable. Now these terrific trumpet and voice duets can be played by a standard brass quintet. The solo trumpet part remains the same (also allowing for performance on natural trumpet) and the remainder of the quintet performs the string parts. The 2nd trumpet performs on flugel horn to create a greater cohesion within the ensemble allowing for the bright piccolo (or natural) trumpet sound to float above the ensemble in duet with the soprano. |

| These two marches are the oldest extant secular music composed in Canada. The Royal Fusiliers Arrival at Quebec was written in honour of the arrival of the newest regiment from England and its commanding officer. An inscription on the manuscript of the Marche de Normandie identifies Charles Voyer de Poligny dArgenson as the composer of that work, and from the available evidence it seems likely that both marches were written by the same person. They are arranged for a woodwind ensemble consisting of piccolo, flute, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 horns and 2 bassoons. |

| This is a huge work arranged for brass band. The original was scored for a concert band with antiphonal trumpet fanfares and a massive sound. This same grand concept has been written into this version. Melody is found throughout the ensemble and all parts are both technically and musically challenging. This is an 11 minute work that contains huge dynamic contrasts and varying sections. The beautiful lyric melody has been given to the euphonium and this section also contains light, cup-muted cornet parts imitating the sound of angels. This is contrasted by a section of brilliant military-style fanfares from the cornets. This is a thrill to both play and listen to. |

The trumpet part captures many of the oboe lines and therefore adds extra brightness to contrast the blending of the horn, flugel and low brass. |

Featured solos by euphonium, horn, cornet and first trumpet make this work interesting for all the performers.

Brass Choir (4.2.2.1.1) |
| BC2660 |
Price: $25.00 |
Duration: 5:00 |
| The pieces in Fanfare and Procession are taken from the works of two of Englands master composers. The opening fanfare and first part of the processional are taken from Elgars Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1. In contrast, the latter portion of the present arrangement is arranged from Byrds The Earle of Oxford's Marche. These two contrasting pieces were paired together to provide a lengthy, continuous march for use in ceremonial occasions. Through the use of a D.S., the piece can be performed as an ongoing loop, and the piece is scored (for 4 trumpets, 2 horns, 2 trombones, baritone and tuba) with adequate rest in all 10 parts to allow for long processionals even after performing a lengthy prelude. |

| The intent of this piece is every drummers dream to just groove and have fun doing it. The entire piece is played on an assortment of buckets and garbage cans (both metal and plastic). Parts can be easily doubled if desired. As well, there is the serious moment of the playful rendering of O Canada near the end on kazoos. Any song can be inserted at that point (as long as it is a piece that is normally taken seriously or is high brow). This is scored for an ensemble of at least 8 players. |

Duration: 2:20 |
| The simple setting of this well known tune was done in my first year of working with the percussion ensemble at a Junior High School. I had quite a few problems finding music suitable for their level of development, so I wrote a simple arrangement for them for the Holiday Season. We were lucky enough to have an Elementary School as a feeder school that had hand bells, so the optional hand bell introduction was written. It is arranged for 2 Bells parts, Chimes and percussion. |

| Cookin With Cheese pokes fun at poorly produced TV cooking shows. It starts with a video of a cooking show (as lame as possible, please), is later interrupted by putting a mini-bag of popcorn in a microwave and starting it; the piece then continues until the musicians break into reciting recipes, and finishes with the reoccurring percussion break (and eating the finished popcorn on stage). |

Price: $25.00 |
Duration: 3:30 |
| It is intended that the piece be performed with the marimba quartet on stage (four players on two marimbas) and the vibraphone in the audience (center or back of hall preferred). The piece will therefore allow the audience to experience the interaction between the cell based groove on stage with the lyrical-ish melody in the audience and will sound different depending on where they sit in the hall. Very effective! |

The melody immediately came to me as my hands hit the keyboard". This is a lush and beautiful ballad and with the trumpeters on flugels and well balanced ensemble playing, this is a sure crowd pleaser. |

Miles |
Difficulty: Medium |
| David Ferguson |
4 Trumpets |
| TE24113 |
Price: $12.00 |
Duration: 4:10 |
| Miles, as the name implies, is inspired by the improvisations and compositional style of Miles Davis during his modal period. With one masked exception, none of the themes presented here are taken from Miles Davis recordings. Instead, the piece is constructed (like Miles solos) around clearly defined rhythmic and melodic motives. This piece requires a good deal of rhythmic independence from players and each person is featured in short solo and lead roles at various points throughout the piece. Range considerations in the piece are minimal to facilitate performances by trumpeters at the high school, collegiate or professional levels. |

Sonata for 2 Trumpets and Brass |
Difficulty: Medium-Difficult |
| Petronio Franceschini |
Brass Quintet |
| BQ26232 |
Price: $20.00 |
Duration: 6:15 |
| All music originally written for the natural trumpet (a trumpet with no valves) has a true "sameness" about it because of the limited notes the instrument could play. Franceschini has used many of the less commonly used notes available to the trumpet's harmonic series and, as a result, has created a more interesting harmonic palette for the instruments involved. This arrangement could feature the trumpet players on natural trumpets or piccolos. |

Brass Choir (3.0.2.2.1) |
| BC2968 |
Price: $25.00 |
Duration: 4:45 |
| This well-known sonata by Gabrieli has been performed and recorded by many brass ensembles. This arrangement utilizes the idea of Renaissance consorts. While modern brass instruments are not generally used in true consorts, one can group instruments according to bore shape thus approximating a consort. To that end, the first choir uses cylindrical instruments (2 trumpets and 2 trombones) while the second uses conical instruments (flugelhorn, 2 euphoniums and tuba). This will yield a well-balanced and blended sound within each choir while allowing the listener to follow the performers through the contrasting timbres of the two choirs. |

In this piece percussionists physically move to other positions on stage to play different instruments (and try to stay in the right place musically). The Vibraphone player moves to play Bells, Xylophone to Timpani, Congas to Cymbals. As if the concept of players and mallets-in-motion isn’t challenging enough, the time signature constantly changes. Unless executed with precision, this piece could turn into one giant KERFUFFLE! |

All the typical staggered entrances and polyphonic writing found in most madrigals are contained in this piece. The chromaticism takes this work and creates a sound that we may attribute to a composition in the Twentieth Century rather than one from 1611. |

Brass Band |

Duration: 4:30 |
| Handel's most frequently performed and most famous oratorio is probably best known for the famous Hallelujah. The Hallelujah is the grand chorus that caused the King to rise from his seat and as all good subjects, the entire audience rose with him. This tradition holds true even today reminding us of the great beginnings of this powerful music. This arrangement has been lowered a tone from the original into C concert. The treatment of the Solo Cornet part is quite different here. To allow for a clearer, more balanced line, the Solo Cornet part has been split into 4. This allows for independent playing as well as doubling when necessary. |

The solo trumpet part remains the same (also allowing for performance on natural trumpet) and the remainder of the quintet performs the string parts. The 2nd trumpet performs on flugel horn to create a greater cohesion within the ensemble allowing for the bright piccolo (or natural) trumpet sound to float above the ensemble in duet with the soprano. |

Messiah Suite (10 movements) |
Difficulty: Difficult |

Brass Quintet |
| BQmc |
Price: $100.00 |
Duration: 0:00 |
| The premise of this set of transcriptions was to provide a substantial suite of pieces from Handel's Messiah for the performing brass quintet. The difficulty in the various pieces range from quite easy, which a high school ensemble could play with little rehearsal, to fairly difficult, which could challenge a professional, working quintet. Piccolo and E-flat trumpets are used extensively and the range and technical demands on all players makes for interesting and challenging parts. There have been selected movements that are features for 1 (or more instruments). Each member in the ensemble has at least 1 movement that is their solo and this allows all the talents in a group to be displayed. After a quick glance over the list of 10 pieces one quickly notices that the famous Hallelujah! is not among them. This has been done intentionally. There are many renditions of this chorus already at a brass player's disposal, so any of those arrangements would help to augment this suite. |

Price: $15.00 |
Duration: 5:00 |
| This arrangement of In the Bleak Midwinter attempts to capture the barren and frigid feel of winter and the warmth of the Christmas holiday that is inherent in Holst s original carol. Bookended by sounds of the wind, snapping branches, and minimal movement, the tune serves as a log on the fire that warms our hearts so that we may persevere against the cold that continues all around us. |

| Thaxted started out as a theme from the Jupiter movement of Gustav Holst's orchestral suite The Planets. Later, Ralph Vaughan Williams and Holst himself adapted poems to fit the tune, and today over 20 hymns, patriotic songs, and other settings are set to Thaxted. This woodwind quintet arrangement stays true to Holst's work and allows each of the instruments a chance to carry part of the tune's engaging melody. |

Price: $45.00 |
Duration: 3:00 |
| Buried deep in the TIHEK valley for almost a thousand years were the runes of an ancient people known as the RAAK. These runes were of mythological importance as they showed in great detail much of the tribal life that occurred. The opening section is a description of explorers sifting through the dense jungle valley in search of a lost civilization. They make their discovery and find that music/dancing was a large part of tribal life both as a ritual and as a means to celebrate. While celebrating their find, the explorers determine that it would be wrong to disturb the site and thus retreat similarly back out of the valley leaving behind the Mystic Runes of Raak. |

La Forza Scura however, was designed to be accessible to less experienced bands while still retaining the sinister undertone of its big brother. Once again the sounds portraying rugged landscapes and fierce battles are found in the Allegro portions of the piece while the sounds of despair and yet glimmers of hope are found in the Andante. In any event, it is a FORCE to be reckoned with. |

The piece is dedicated to Mary Kay Godfrey, who provided the materials necessary to complete this composition. |

Duration: 3:20 |
| The magic pendant is just another symbol or in this case a jewel (probably of little value) that is considered by the wearer of having magical properties. This fun, multi section overture allows the opportunity for young musicians to play in changing styles and tempos. Very smooth legato playing is contrasted by short, clearly articulated passages. |

Warlock |
Difficulty: Grade 1.5 |
| Kevin Kaisershot |
Concert Band |
| CB18346 |
Price: $55.00 |
Duration: 3:05 |
| A warlock is a male who practices witchcraft. This little tonal caricature seeks to musically portray this enigmatic character in a somewhat less than frightening way. The tri-tone and its usage in the Middle Ages was forbidden, but today has become more associated with its rather devious sound and pops up every so often in music of that nature. The opening is that of the shroud of mystery surrounding the character. The main body of the piece is the swirling cone of energy that the character possesses and the waltz section is a dance related section containing a bit of devious comic relief. |

| Polkas are popular in many different cultures. The form itself originated in the 19th century around Bohemia and though mostly associated with the Czech culture, today it is popular throughout Europe and the Americas. Peckle Polka gets its name from the composer’s immediate family referring to cat food (when feeding their cat) as peckles. While cats, as a rule, will ignore you when trying to teach them tricks, the composer’s cat knows what is meant when asked, “do you want some peckles”? It means food! |

Over the years there have been surprisingly few arrangements of the national anthem of Canada. This version is quite unique and will prove to be extremely useful in all kinds of performance situations. This is not an arrangement for only one difficultly level, it is for four! There are four versions found in everyone's part: - Unison - this edition has been transposed into a comfortable range for all players.
- Grade 1 1/2 - in this version the melody passes through several sections in a very playable arrangement.
- Grade 2 - more complex moving lines are introduced.
>- Grade 3 - this utilizes fanfares in the trumpets and places more range and technical demands on all players.
All these versions are in the same key and use the same basic harmonies which means they are all completely interchangeable! If you have an excellent trumpet player in your grade 1 1/2 level band, she/he can play the next version up and it will all fit together and sound great! This revolutionary concept means that elementary schools and high schools can own the same set and combine players for a mass band concert. This set of arrangements is ideal for any program no matter what the diversity of talents. |

Brass Quintet |
| BQ27271 |
Price: $20.00 |
Duration: 8:03 |
| The Golden Age is a piece written in the carefree style of the music written in North America at the turn of the Twentieth Century.

This suite takes a typical concert at that time, and puts it all in a single, multi-movement work. In general, this piece was conceived in the old style, with the instrumentation common at the turn of the 20th Century. Cornets would be more suitable rather than trumpets. |

The major pentatonic scale is used as the basis for this composition which creates an interesting texture and evokes the sound of an ancient Japanese folk song.

All parts are accessible to players with limited experience but the beauty of the original is not sacrificed for ease of playing. This also would work with a more experienced ensemble to provide a much needed break for those long quintet concerts! |

Brass Quintet |

Price: $20.00 |
Duration: 6:20 |
| This work is an exciting piece for the brass quintet. It is set in three movements, each with its own mood and character. The opening movement Fanfare and March Fantasy is a fantasia on J.J. Mouret's famous Rondeau and has the melody alternating metres between 6/8 and 2/4. The second movement is Meditation and Chorale in which a haunting theme floats throughout the ensemble. Chant and Alleluja is particularly creative stating the chant theme in the opening measures and then moving to an energetic allegro vivo in shifting metres, particularly in 7/8. |

| The idea for this march originated from a conversation that took place in the pine forests of Camp Borden, Ontario, during Basic Recruit Course with the Canadian Armed Forces. The composer listened as one of his instructors spoke passionately about the possibility of a new kind of army, an army that would bring peace to the world rather than war. And even though the day when that goal is truly accomplished still lies, unfortunately, sometime in the future, it is true that the honourable role of peacekeeping has now become a major focus of both Reserve and Regular armed forces in Canada. |

Price: $15.00 |
Duration: 3:00 |
| The arrangement of this piece, earlier released by Eighth Note Publications, proved to outsell all others. It's popularity has caused a demand by students in mid high school to have an arrangement of this same piece that is more approachable by them. The result is this arrangement, which has been transposed into B-flat concert. This allows the top notes in the solo trumpet part to be high Cs as opposed to the more advanced version that required high Fs from the first trumpet player. None of the melodic material has been sacrificed but the technique and range requirements in all the parts is such that a high school ensemble could tackle this arrangement as a showpiece for the first trumpeter. |

While the piccolo is playing Fs above high C, the remainder of the ensemble is supporting with avery playable accompaniment that has been reduced from the orchestral part.

This classical favourite will amaze audiences and perhaps give them a good introduction to the piccolo trumpet. |

The grand scale of this work has been captured in this full transcription from the orchestral score of Moussorgsky.

This is when the title character sings to the people, which has been given to the euphonium/baritone in this arrangement. This work makes a terrific mass band piece because of its scale and style.

New Trix Suite |
Difficulty: Medium-Difficult |
| Jim Parcel |
Brass Quintet |
| BQ27285 |
Price: $20.00 |
Duration: 0:00 |
| The original version of New Trix was written for an Anchorage brass quintet made up of local band directors (old dogs with some younger blood). Most of it was composed while jogging the Seward Highway and scrambling home to write down what was still in my head. On those days, upon entering the house, a shower was priority number two. The most notable characteristic is the constant modulation, especially in the waltz and the screamer. One could say that this characterizes the fickle nature of the composer. However, I prefer to think of it as spurts of inebriated tension and comic release, or maybe just plain relief. |

Duration: 3:00 |
| London Bridge was originally written for brass quintet and later scored for concert band. This is the composer recalling the quintet version s premiere. London Bridge was designed to appeal to children, but also to the child remaining in the rest of us. It kind of developed as it went along and ended up where it is today if that makes any sense at all. A few days after the first draft was finished I took it to a clinic for high school band members at one of the Anchorage schools. The clinic was put on by the Canadian Brass who were in Anchorage on a concert tour. They sight read it at the clinic. I even asked them to autograph the parts. They did. I did not have the nerve to ask them what they thought about it, and they offered me no opinion. That may have been good. This is a terrific novelty piece that shows off the whole group, quotes famous pieces and allows the students to really have fun. |

Price: $12.00 |
Duration: 7:00 |
| The fugues referred to in the title are not the musical kind, but psychogenic fugues in a medical sense. This is when a patient seemingly embarks on a completely new life for months or even years, not remembering any aspect of the one left behind. In this regard, the trumpets in this composition play fragments of materials that seem to have nothing to do with the organ toccata which is interspersed. As the piece continues, however, the trumpets move to the organ console, and are pulled more and more into the organ texture, joining with it at the end. Very effective! |

Spanish Suite |

Brass Quintet |

Price: $20.00 |
Duration: 8:30 |
| This suite was created from, what was then (1674), an instructional book on the art of Spanish guitar playing. It is a wonderful collection of short pieces in many tempos and styles. The shifting 6/8 and 3/4 feel in several movements is found, to this day, in much of the popular music of Latin America. Nine movements have been selected and arranged here. The sound of the brass quintet is, obviously, nothing like that of the five-string guitar but the Spanish flavour and feel make this something just a little different for brass players. |

Brass Quintet and Soprano |

Price: $30.00 |
Duration: 12:00 |
| For years, trumpet players have aligned themselves with solo singers, especially sopranos, to perform the great Baroque repertoire for trumpet and voice. Organ reductions were created to replace the string parts making this great pairing more portable. Now these terrific trumpet and voice duets can be played by a standard brass quintet. The solo trumpet part remains the same (also allowing for performance on natural trumpet) and the remainder of the quintet performs the string parts. The 2nd trumpet performs on flugel horn to create a greater cohesion within the ensemble allowing for the bright piccolo (or natural) trumpet sound to float above the ensemble in duet with the soprano. |

| Stick Dance is reminiscent of Canaries, a solo work for 4 timpani composed by Eliott Carter. Like Canaries, this piece is an example of metric modulation, changing tempo using the rhythms present. Unlike Canaries, this work is written for 2 sets of drums: 4 timpani, and 4 tom-toms. The composer chose to use tom-toms due to their percussive tone which offsets the resonance of the timpani. Full of energy and rhythmic drive, Stick Dance for Eight Heads is a great piece for showing off 2 good percussionists. |

| Set in two movements, A Little Song and Dance combines a passionate first movement followed by a light and lively second. A dramatic horn solo leads into a piu mosso section. Melody flows throughout the ensemble with solo lines in every part. The second movement is very rhythmic, often changing meter with sections in 7/8. It is truly dance-like and the rhythms drive it to an awesome climax and the end of the work. |

| This piece, originally an oboe solo, was made famous in the trumpet world by none other than Maurice Andr. Because of the key and range, an e-flat trumpet is the ideal instrument to play the solo line. The quintet trumpet parts should be played on flugelhorns to better create a more cohesive quintet sound. This arrangement has been dedicated to the brilliant playing and the terrific arranging of Mr. Fred Mills, long-time member of the Canadian Brass. |

Maestoso from Tafelmusik Concerto |
Difficulty: Medium-Difficult |
| George Philipp Telemann |
Brass Quintet |
| BQ9615 |
Price: $15.00 |
Duration: 5:45 |
| Originally for 2 horns and strings, this arrangement now features the 2 trumpets with the remainder of the ensemble performing the string parts. The first trumpet part works best when played on E-flat trumpet to keep the lightness and grace in the writing and an agile trombone player is required to perform the arpeggiated string lines. The stately maestoso is an often performed work especially by period instrument ensembles and the fanfare-type figures lend themselves well to the brass quintet. At less than 3 minutes in length, this work is not too strenuous but is an interesting addition to the quintet repertoire. |

3 Trumpets and Bass Clef Instrument |
| TE965 |
Price: $25.00 |
Duration: 10:15 |
| Originally scored for trumpet, 2 oboes and basso continuo, the sound of this instrumentation remains close to Telemann's original writing. It is suggested that a bassoon play the continuo line (which again is offered in B-flat, C and D) and three trumpets of same or different pitches play the trumpet and oboe parts. An exciting work for solo trumpet, now for trumpet ensemble, the nimble and interesting oboe parts are also given to trumpets. Three equally competent performers are required to execute the 33 top lines as the contrapuntal writing has all parts contributing to the melody line as well as in a supporting role. Either three piccolo trumpets in the key of D or 3 E-flat trumpets in the key of B-flat make this a new found gem in the trumpet ensemble repertoire. |

3 Trumpets |
| TE24120 |
Price: $12.00 |
Duration: 1:35 |
| These eight short fanfares, for 3 trumpets, were written as a result of my fascination with historical instruments. They were a type of exercise in composing for the limited medium of natural trumpets, though they lay well on modern instruments. There is a good variety of "affects" from fanfare to fanfare, making their usefulness plentiful. Since they are all short, they come in very handy for award banquets, or any event that could be spruced up by an ornate announcement or two. |

This is a very effective treatment of this lesser known Christmas carol. |

One trumpet player is asked to stand away from the group. This is to emulate the call and response between a soloist and congregation at a church service found in many denominations. This is a very effective treatment of this lesser known Christmas carol. Grade 1 1/2 - in this version the melody passes through several sections in a very playable arrangement. |

| London Bridge was originally written for brass quintet and later scored for concert band. Below is the composer recalling the quintet versions premiere. London Bridge was designed to appeal to children, but also to the child remaining in the rest of us. It kind of developed asit went along and ended up where it is today if that makes any sense at all. A few days after the first draft was finished I took it to a clinic for high school band members at one of theAnchorage schools. The clinic was put on by the Canadian Brass who were in Anchorage on a concert tour. They sight read it at the clinic. I even asked them to autograph the parts. They did. I did not have the nerve to ask them what they thought about it, and they offered meno opinion. That may have been good. This is a terrific novelty piece that shows off the whole band, quotes famous pieces and allows the students to really have fun. |

Mexican Hat Dance |
Difficulty: Medium-Difficult |

4 Trombones |
| TQ2714 |
Price: $12.00 |
Duration: 0:00 |
| The famous Mexican Hat Dance is a traditional melody that has been used extensively in movie scores. This arrangement has used several creative compositional devices to make it more rhythmically and melodically interesting. The use of 3/4 interspersed occasionally throughout the piece breaks up the 6/8 feel. The form is simple - a short introduction, the melody [A] repeats several times; the [B] section starts slowly and dramatically (with clapping at the appropriate moments) accelerating, leading back to the [A] melody. What is interesting in this recap is that the two major themes are played simultaneously. |

| A fairly common practice in the Baroque era was for organists to "borrow" and transcribe orchestral music from themselves or other composers to create spectacular organ solos. J.S.

The brilliant showy solo line interspersed with tutti sections lent itself well to the colours of the organ and now to brass. This is a piccolo trumpet feature with the quintet trumpeters playing running duet lines in support of the soloist. For a transposed edition (into Bb) please order BQ25205. |

Brass Quintet and Solo Trumpets |
| BQ27273 |
Price: $25.00 |
Duration: 7:15 |
| Antonio Vivaldi wrote this work for two natural trumpets and strings and it has become the most popular double concerto for trumpets. The music is simple and elegant, utilizing the non-chromatic capabilities of the natural trumpet. Falling arpeggios, half a scale and fanfare figures throughout the work show Vivaldis skill at taking short simple melodic material and using it throughout a three-movement concerto. The original string accompaniment has been given to a brass quartet with the remaining trumpet part being performed on flugel horn. Another suggestion is the trombone part be played on euphonium for an even more consistent accompaniment texture. |

The music is simple and elegant, utilizing the non-chromatic capabilities of the natural trumpet. Falling arpeggios, half a scale and fanfare figures throughout the work show Vivaldi s skill at taking short simple melodic material and using it throughout a three-movement concerto. |

| The famous Mexican Hat Dance is a traditional melody that has been used extensively in movie scores. This arrangement has used several creative compositional devices to make it more rhythmically and melodically interesting. The use of 3/4 interspersed occasionally throughout the piece breaks up the 6/8 feel. The form is simple - a short introduction, the melody [A] repeats several times; the [B] section starts slowly and dramatically (with clapping at the appropriate moments) accelerating, leading back to the [A] melody. What is interesting in this recap is that the two major themes are played simultaneously. |
