Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner CBE, known as Sting, is an English musician and actor. He was the principal
songwriter, lead singer, and bassist for the new wave rock band the Police from 1977 to 1984,
and launched a solo career in 1985. Sting has included elements of rock, jazz, reggae, classical,
new-age and worldbeat in his music.
Released in 1983 this is his most famous hit in my opinion. This Brass Quintet arrangement by Joseph Pugh really rocks
your chops. If you like sharps its a must have.

Dixie sound all the way! Sounds like improv, but none is required until two held chords in the first ending. Picc tpt takes the easy clarinet licks. Musicians love playing this!

While still in his twenties, Debussy composed two arabesques for piano. The first, tempo marked ?Andantino con moto,? is probably the more familiar, and it has appeared in a number of different instrumentation settings. With respect to brass quintet, ?Arabesque No. 1? seems written specifically for Horn in F to take the lead, and that is what this arrangement features. Trumpets and Trombone do help out, but for the most part it is the Horn that shines forth. (And, for once in a Les Smith arrangement, the tuba has it relatively easy.) This arrangement was completed in 2012, and performance time runs about 4 minutes, 38 seconds. Contact the arranger, Les Smith, at lessmith@ufl.edu.

Maurer's 12 Kleine St�cke (12 Little Pieces) for five brass were published posthumously in 1881 and were written for two cornets in B?, two horns in E?, and one bass trombone. They are important works for brass in that they are some of the earliest pieces of brass chamber music existing; with Anton Simon?s Quartuor en forme de sonatine, Alexander Glazinov?s In modo religioso and Wilhelm Rams�e?s five Quartets they remain some of the handful of original brass works from the nineteenth century. This edition is taken from the first version published by A. B�ttner of St. Petersburg, Russia. In order to make it more accessible for a modern brass quintet the second horn part is transposed for trombone, and the lowest part may be performed on either tuba or bass trombone. I have tried to resolve the many contradictions in articulations found in the original score while keeping this edition as close to the original as possible. Many brass players may be unfamiliar with the complete version of this piece; I encourage them to perform the entire work as Maurer originally intended.

This is an arrangement of an ACDC song which includes one of the greatest guitar riffs of all time. It has some flamboyant solos in the middle where trumpets, french horn and trombonist take on the role the guitar soloist. An exciting arrangement to show off your skills.
