Two fantastic pieces; J.S. Bach's Jesu Joy Of Man's Desiring and Vivaldi's Allegro from Double Trumpet Concerto. In both of these Baroque Gems it is essential that an appropriate tempo is set immediately and maintained without effort. The arranger suggests metronome values around 84 for the Bach piece and 116 for the Vivaldi.In the Bach always have awareness of where the melody lies and give careful consideration to whether the dotted quaver - semiquaver rhythm is played with a triplet feel or in strict time. In the Vivaldi the solo parts could be played on just about any pitch of Trumpet though it would be best if the twosoloists could use the same pitch of Trumpet whatever that may be. Players that own natural Trumpets and never play them might see this as an ideal opportunity to let them off!The Latin section needs to be played with good rhythm and a sense of fun. The shock notes is Trumpets Horn and Trombone bars 73-74 are best omitted unless absolutely tight.

for Brass Quintet and Orchestra. Par SCHWARZ OTTO M.. La commande du Pentaphonia Brass Quintet et du Haize Berriak Sakanako Musika Ekartea Concert Band, tous deux situés au pays Basque espagnol, portait sur la composition d?une oeuvre pour quintette de cuivres et orchestre d?harmonie. Composée par Otto M. Schwarz, cette oeuvre explore différents styles à la manière de son concerto grosso. Les éléments thématiques sont introduits par le quintette et repris par l?orchestre, et parfois vice versa. En outre, les membres du quintette ne jouent pas toujours tous ensemble, mais souvent en trio ou en duo. Des passages solo virtuoses complètent cette pièce. Constituant l?un des rares exemples de ce type de composition, Brasserie trouvera très certainement une place permanente au répertoire des orchestres d?harmonie. / Date parution : 2023-06-01/ Répertoire / Quintette de cuivres et Orchestre

Transcribed by popular brass arranger Robert King this edition of Giovanni Gabrieli's Canzon Duodecimi Toni provides an exciting performance piece for a large Brass Ensemble with Organ. Being one of the most influential musicians during the shift from the Renaissance to the Baroque era it is no secret that the composer leant himself primarily to vocal and sacred works. However his Canzon Duodecimi as part of the composer's Sacred Symphony represents an important turn not only in the composer's career but in musical history. Composed in 1597 this piece paved the way towhat would soon become the new Baroque concerto style which remains popular to this day. King's arrangement of this historical work is indispensable for Brass Ensembles and Organ.
