C. P. E. Bach was an innovator as an early Classical music composer, helping to develop the sonata form that was refined by Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. Like his father, Carl Phillip Emanuel was prolific and showed signs of true genius.

Symphony No. 1, in three movements (fast-slow-fast) was originally in D and has been transposed down a step to C by the arranger Justin Bland.

This very fine arrangement of the entire work of about 12 minutes in length is appropriate for very advanced performers and could be the cornerstone of a recital program.

Spain is an instrumental jazz fusion composition by jazz pianist and composer Chick Corea. It is probably Corea's most recognized piece, and is considered one of the greatest jazz standards. This challenging arrangement features all parts, the unison lines need some practice, of course, while part 1 has a free solo on 2 forms, after that an exiting final. Have fun!

Instrumentation: Tpt 1/2 in Bb/C, Horn in F/Eb/Bb, Trombone in C/Bb, Tuba/Bass in Bb/Eb

Borodin's String Trio in G minor dates from 1855, one of his early works for 2 Violins and Cello. It is based on the once well-known Russian folk song Chem tebya ya ogorchila (What have I done to hurt you?). The music is about 7 minutes in length in one movement with the lovely bitter-sweet theme and eight variations.

The Trio in G minor was largely forgotten until the mid 20th Century. Justin Chiang's lovely arrangement for Brass Quintet for advanced performers works exceptionally well.

Instrumentation is for 2 Trumpets in C, Horn, Trombone, and Tuba.

E lucevan le stelle (And the stars were shining) is a romantic aria from the third act of Puccini's opera Tosca, written in 1900. It is sung in Act 3 by Mario Cavaradossi (tenor), a painter who is awaiting his execution and in love with the singer Tosca. (Wikipedia).

This aria is one of the most beloved in all the operatic repertoire and has been captured beautifully in a lovely arrangement for brass quintet by Vikention Gionanidis. The music is appropriate for advanced performers.

The instrumentation is for 2 Trumpets in C (B-flat parts supplied as well), Horn, Trombone, and Tuba.

Verdi's most popular opera A�da was premiered in 1871 and has been possibly performed more than any other....over 1,100 times at the Metropolitan Opera alone.

Preludio begins quietly and mysteriously and quickly builds to a gigantic emotional climax and just as quickly dies down to nothing again...foreshadowing what will occur in the opera.

Thomas J�stlein has beautifully arranged this passionate work of about 4 minutes in length for Brass Quintet composed of advanced performers.

Instrumentation is for 2 Trumpets in C, Horn in F, Trombone and Tuba.

This arrangement is dedicated to the Metropolitan Opera Brass Quintet.

The Charlie Brown Christmas Classic, Christmas Time is Here, is here just in time for the holidays! This arrangement is a beginning step in the right direction for advanced middle school students or for high school brass students interested in the quintet world.

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).

Ave Maria ? Charles Gounod?s beautiful melody written atop Johann Sebastian Bach?s Prelude in C major from his Well-Tempered Clavier BWV 846 for Brass Quintet.

Playing Time 2:50.
