27 November 1860 - 16 April 1935

Ewald was a Russian composer of music, mainly for conical brass instruments.He was born in Saint Petersburg and died in Leningrad. He also collected andpublished Russian folk songs. Ewald?s professional life, like that of many of his musicalcontemporaries, was in an entirely different field; that of a civil engineer, in which heexcelled, being appointed in 1900 as professor and manager of the Faculty ofConstruction Materials at the Institute of Civil Engineers. Brass players however areindebted to him for something very different ? a series of quintets which have becomea staple of the repertoire and which represent almost the only, and certainly the mostextended examples of original literature in the Romantic style. Ewald?s formal musicaltraining began in 1872 when he enrolled at the St Petersburg Conservatory at the ageof twelve. Founded in 1861 by Anton Rubenstein, this institution was the first of itskind in Russia and it was here that Ewald received lessons in cornet, piano, horn,cello, harmony and composition.As an adult he worked alongside fellow musicalnationalists known collectively as the Mighty Handful?Borodin, Mily Balakirev,

C�sar Cui, Modest Mussorgsky and the most famous of all, Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov.

All of these men had ?day jobs? in non-musical fields.
Ewald?s contributions as a composer reflected an abiding love for brass

instruments for which he wrote his quintets scored originally for two cornets, altohorn, baritone horn and tuba.

I've edited these four quartets using Ewald's original instrumentation, but thereare also separate substitute parts for the modern brass quintet (2 trumpets, horn in F,trombone and tuba).

"Faithfulness" is a medley of three beloved hymns on the topics of God's faithfulness to his people and their faithful belief and life in Him. It includes "Great is Thy Faithfulness," "Faith of Our Fathers," and "My Faith Looks Up to Thee," and it incorporates original harmonizations, transitions/modulations, and orchestration for brass quintet.

Ideal as a prelude to worship, as an offertory, or at communion, this advanced-intermediate arrangement is suitable for proficient high school musicians and church/community ensembles.

Includes full score and parts for Bb trumpets 1-2, horn in F, trombone, and tuba.

La spettacolare colonna sonora di Jerry Goldsmith finalmente in una versione per Brass Quintet.

Il reboot di successo del 1999 della famosa serie degli anni '30 e 40' che inzi� con Boris Karloff nel 1931. Regia di Stephen Sommers con Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, John Hannah, Arnold Vosloo, Johanthan Hyde, Ken J. O'Connor. Produttore esecutivo Kevin Jarre, Sommers � l'autore anche di storia e sceneggiatura. Spesso al centro dell'attenzione la monumentale colonna sonora da 91 minuti di Jerry Goldsmith che fa utilizzo di una grande orchestra e coro, tra i pi� grandi da lui diretti al fine della sua carriera. Ci sono molti temi, brani d'azione in abbondanza. Per la felicit� dei fan di Goldsmith ovunque il popolare compositore compie un ritorno alla sua tradizione ritmica con enfasi su ostinati orchestrali aggressivi dominati da vere percussioni, ottoni bassi ed archi.
