Bernard Scherr has arranged six lovely Portuguese Folksongs for Brass Quintet entitled: 1. Mourisca do Santo Joao 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 Portuguese folksongs contain many words and phrases that are associated with certain regions of Portugal. These folksongs come from northern Portugal and were collected during the first half of the 20th century. They represent, though, an earlier tradition stretching back into the 19th century and earlier. Some of these titles are terms of endearment (A Pastorinha, O Xi-Xi, and O ai, o linda), of something new and exciting (Carro amaricano), of dance (Coradinha), or of something that is not easily translated (Mourisca-referring either to architecture, a dance, or a local folk deity). These arrangements capture the charming melodies, woven throughout the group, and contain inventive harmonies and imitations. Instrumentation is for 2 Trumpets in B-flat, Horn, Trombone & Tuba. For advanced performers.

Brass Quintet - Advanced

SKU: CY.CC2109

Composed by Norman Wilcox. Contemporary tonal. Full score & parts. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2109).

Norman Wilcox has written a new work for Brass Quintet titled Mode Swings. It is in A-B-A format beginning with a lively, rhythmic melody in mixed meter which is passed around the group. The B section features a lyrical Trombone solo and 2nd Trumpet. The A section comes back to life and finishes off a most delightful work. This work is written for advanced performers at about 4 1/2 minutes in length and will work very well in a recital or concert.
