Lauren Bernofsky’s PASSACAGLIA is in C Minor with an 8-bar recurring theme; although traditional in this regard, the theme’s 8 bars include irregular meter changes and modal harmony, and the successive variations go refreshingly far afield from the original phrase. PASSACAGLIA is also available for Trombone Quintet (4 Tenor, 1 Bass), and for large Brass Ensemble (4 Trumpets, 2 Horns, 2 Tenor Trombones, 1 Bass Trombone, and 1 Tuba).

Composed by Johannes Brahms. Arranged by Andrew Heading. Chamber music. Published by Potenza Music (P2.60033).

This arrangement of Brahms' famous lullaby features the first trumpet and the trombone. It begins fairly straight-forwardly, but morphs into a very colourful middle section featuring some unusual but pleasant harmony and rhythms, before finishing in a more traditional manner. It should not send your audience to sleep, but have them awestruck at the wonderful sounds that brass instruments can make.
