Published by Dacker Music (A0.1108258). J.S. Bach’s incomparably beautiful Arioso was originally composed as the sinfonia from his cantata, Ich steh mit einem Fuss im Grabe, BWV 156. He must have favored this melody himself, because he later used it again in several instrumental compositions. This arrangement is for brass sextet (standard quintet with a second trombone). A quintet voicing of this arrangement can be found as the 3rd movement in A Little Bach Suite..

Arranged by Benoit BARRAIL. 20th Century,Folk,Pop,Rock,Standards. 21 pages. Benoît Barrail #966240. Published by Benoît Barrail (A0.1381523). The Sound of Silence is a song by American folk rock duo Simon and Garfunkel, written by Paul Simon. A first version of the song was released in 1964 on the album Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M., it is an acoustic version.

Here is an arrangement for Brass Quartet (Trumpet, Horn, Trombone and Tuba – Bass in Bb in B.C. or T.C. also available) of this timeless song. The Sound of Silence est une chanson du duo de folk rock américain Simon and Garfunkel, écrite par Paul Simon. Une première version de la chanson sort en 1964 sur l’album Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M., c’est une version acoustique. Mais leur producteur en enregistre une version électrique à leur insu l’année suivante, elle fait partie de l’album éponyme publié en 1966. La chanson connaît alors un immense succès. Voici un arrangement pour quatuor à vent (trompette, cor, trombone et tuba – basse Sib également disponible en clé de fa ou clé de sol) de cette chanson indémodable.

Horn,Trombone,Trumpet,Tuba - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1148567 Composed by Music by Richard Milburn. Arranged by F. Leslie Smith. Country,Folk,Historic,Traditional. 27 pages. Sweetwater Brass Press #748729. Published by Sweetwater Brass Press (A0.1148567). Listen to the Mocking Bird was first published in 1855. The melody originated with Richard Milburn, a Philadelphia African-American who has been described variously as a panhandling busker and as a musically inclined barber. A songwriter and publisher by the name of Septimus Winner heard Milburn's tune, arranged it, added words, put it into print and claimed credit for its creation under the pseudonym Alice Hawthorne. Supposedly, Winner sold the rights to the song for five dollars. Listen to the Mocking Bird grew to be one of the most popular songs of the mid-19th century, a real hit. Its sheet music, by one estimate, sold more than 20 million copies. It was sung and performed particularly often during the Civil War, and troops used its melody as a marching tune. It remains somewhat of a standard and has been recorded numerous times, especially as a favorite of bluegrass musicians. In the lyrics, the singer is remembering his loved one. She has passed away but he recalls their good life together. They particularly enjoyed the call of the mocking bird, which even now is singing o'er her grave. This arrangement opens in E-flat major with Trumpet 1 introducing the sweetly sad melody, I'm dreaming now of Hally. After the introduction, the tempo picks up to allegro and whirls along. It does slow down several times, and there are four one-measure deviations from the 4/4 time signature: one 6/4, two 2/4s and one 1/4. At measure 65, the key changes to B-flat major for the finale. Trumpets 1 and 2 each play one A-above-their-staff eighth note as their highest pitch; the rest of the music stays well within the normal playing range of the five instruments. Completed in 2022, performance time runs about 3 minutes, 23 seconds. The arranger, Les Smith, will be happy to provide substitute parts (for example, treble clef baritone for trombone) at no charge. He would like to receive your suggestions, comments, corrections and criticisms. For more arrangements by Les, enter Sweetwater Brass Press (without the quotation marks) in the Sheet Music Plus or Sheet Music Direct search box. (Also, purchase of this piece entitles you to your choice of another of his arrangements at no charge; send a copy of your purchase receipt directly to him at lessmith61@bellsouth.net.)
