Brass Quintets
Gavotte from 'The Gondoliers'
'Gavotte' is from Gilbert and Sullivan's last successful comic opera 'The Gondoliers'. As with all Sullivan's songs it is instantly recognisable and popular with performers and audiences alike.
Gypsy Trumpeter in New Orleans
This work is a 'tour de force' for solo Trumpet & Brass Quintet, contrasting the Hungarian 'gypsy style' of the fast sections, with the 'bluesy' and very melancholic slower section.
Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah
The most famous movement from Handel's 'Messiah' is the "Hallelujah Chorus", which concludes the second of the three parts. Often performed separately it is now available for Brass Quintet.
Hooning Horns
Hooning Horns, composed by Geoffrey Thorpe, refers to a term used in Australia to describe cars being driven in an anti-social manner. A great party piece with the tempo marked as “non-negotiable”.
I Saw Three Ships
I Saw Three Ship is probably one of the happiest songs about Christmas. This arrangement by Graeme Abernethy of this English traditional carol takes the form of a set of imaginative variations.
Infant Holy, Infant Lowly
This uncomplicated yet effective arrangement by Melanie Cole of Infant Holy, Infant Lowly for Brass Quintet provides a delightful interlude in any Christmas recital.
Instant Sullivan No.1
Arthur Sullivan's music has stood the test of time and is some of the most tuneful and instantly recognisable melodies of all time. Geoff Kingston has arranged eight of tunes in a short medley.
Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring
Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring arranged by Jonathan Hall is part of the Brass Music for Weddings series.
