JensBodewalt Lampe (November 8, 1869 ? May 26, 1929) was a Danish-born Americancomposer, arranger, performer and band-leader of ragtime and syncopated dancemusic. He wrote this march in 1909

"Down to the River to Pray" (also known as "Down in the River to Pray," "Down in the Valley to Pray," and "The Good Old Way") is a 19th-century American folk hymn variously attributed as an African-American spiritual/slave song, Appalachian song, and gospel song. In recent years, it was popularized in the 2000 motion picture, "O Brother, Where Art Thou," and by folk/bluegrass performer Alison Kraus.

In this arrangement, the first three presentations, or verses, of the pentatonic tune employ simple, traditional harmony and limited instrumentation, evoking the simplicity of folk-singing style. Verse 4 is characterized by a direct key change up a fourth (from concert Eb to Ab) and more active harmonies. After a short, two-bar modulation up one more step to Bb major, the final verse begins with rising parallel harmonies under the melody in trumpet 1, and continues with more contemporary harmonies. The piece concludes with a simple "Amen"-like ending.

Bernard Scherr has arranged six lovely Portuguese Folksongs for Brass Quintet entitled:

1. Mourisca do Santo Jo�o de Braga (Moorish architechture of Saint John of Braga) as a march

2. A Pastorinha (The Shepherdess) - a lovely andantino

3. O Xi-Xi (Wee-wee) - a silly song

4. O ai, o linda! (Oh, the beauty!) - a lyrical romance

5. Coradinha (The blushing one) - a dance-like jaunt

6. Carro amaricano (American Car) - driving around in the auto

These movements are of contrasting styles and will make a lovely addition to your program.

Instrumentation is for 2 Trumpets in B-flat, Horn, Trombone & Tuba.

For advanced performers.

Bach's Canzona BWV 588 in d Minor was written for organ and may have been influenced by Frescobaldi and the Italian style of the period.

This lovely 5 1/2 minute arrangement by Robert Coulter begins with a fugue in the bass line and continues until a lively triple-meter section which then leads dramatically to its conclusion.



The instrumentation is for Trumpet 1 (parts supplied for D & E-flat instruments), Trumpet 2 in B-flat, Horn, Trombone, and Tuba. This work is appropriate for advanced performers.
