Franz Schubert (1797-1828), great Austrian composer, was a supreme melodist and master of lieder. This transcription is based on his Sanctus (Holy, Holy, Holy) from his German Mass in F. (ca. 1815) for four-part choir and lends itself well to the expressive qualities of the modern brass quintet.

The Baroque is a period of frills and ornaments, wether in architecture, painting or music. An easy melody passes through a variety of arrangements. From brass quintet and different tutti parts, all the sections are in action. Fortified by a drum set and an (optional) electric bass, the piece is given a modern touch and becomes more acceptable to the audience. A follow-up to Rondo Romantica, this piece was composed in December 1997.

De barok: een tijdperk van speelsheid in de architectuur, de schilderkunst en de muziek. In dit werk wordt een eenvoudig in het gehoor liggende melodie door veel verschillende arrangementen geleid. Van het koperkwintet tot enkele tuttidelen zijn alle secties in actie. Versterkt door de drumset en de basgitaar krijgt het stuk een moderne touch. Hierdoor wordt het extra aantrekkelijk voor het publiek!

In diesem fröhlichen Werk des österreichischen Komponisten Otto M. Schwarz kommt wirklich jede Instrumentengruppe Ihres Blasorchesters zum Zuge. Ein spielerisches Barock-Thema wird durch einen flotten Schlagzeug-Rhythmus unterlegt und wird somit zu einer swingenden Nummer für Ihr nächstes Konzert!

Le baroque : un style et une époque marqués par la légèreté qui a investi tous les domaines artistiques (architecture, peinture, musique, etc.). Dans ce morceau, la mélodie simple est jouée plusieurs fois dans des arrangements différents. Tous les pupitres sont sollicités afin que l’on entende aussi bien des tutti que des interventions du quintette de cuivres. La batterie et la guitare basse donnent au morceau une touche moderne très attrayante. Rondo Barocco, qui s’inscrit dans la lignée de Rondo Romantica, est une oeuvre adaptée aux orchestres juniors et aux formations plus expérimentées.

Il barocco: uno stile e un’epoca contraddistinti dalla leggerezza che ha infl uenzato tutti i campi artistici (architettura, pittura, musica, ecc.). In questo brano, la semplice melodia è eseguita a più riprese in diversi arrangiamenti. Tutte le sezioni della banda sono sollecitate per far sì che si possano ascoltare vari passaggi in tutti, ma anche degli interventi del quintetto di ottoni. La batteria e la chitarra apportano un tocco moderno ed accattivante. Rondo Barocco è un brano a sicuro effetto che delizier il pubblico.

Adapted from the slow movement of Bourgeois' own Sonata for Brass Quintet, Northern Lament is a powerful work with a fiery climax in the middle and thematic material derived from a simple & memorable melody.

This piece originated in the slow movement of Sonata for Brass Quintet, which I wrote in 1965 whilst still a pupil of Herbert Howells at the Royal College of Music, London. It had been commissioned by the Halle Brass Quintet, although they never performed the work. In 1997, Timothy Reynish suggested that I should arrange the work for wind orchestra. I decided to expand the movement into something more than double its original length, adding a fiery climax to its central section. The whole movement derives from the simple melody stated at the beginning. Because of Timothy Reynish's association with the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, England and because the original sonata was never played by the northern-based Halle Brass Quintet who invited me to write it, I decided to call the new piece Northern Lament..

Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643) composed this madrigal in 1605. It appears in the fifth of his eight books of madrigals and is one of his most famous. Cruda Amarilli are the first words in a soliloquy from the play Il pastor fido, which was published in Venice in 1589 by the dramatic poet Battista Guarini (1538-1612). The soliloquy translates as follows: Cruel Amaryllis, who with your name to love, alas, bitterly you teach. Amaryllis, more than the white privetpure, and more beautiful, but deafer than the deaf asp, and fiercer and more elusive. Since telling offended you, I shall die in silence. Barry Toombs' elegant brass quintet arrangement of Monteverdi's madrigal setting of Cruda Amarilli successfully imitates the fluid quality of the human voice.
