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.

Danish composer Vagn Holmboe's work for Brass Quintet: 2 trumpets horn trombone and tuba is a interesting and compelling addition to any Brass programme.

Russian-born Victor Ewald (1860-1935) mainly composed for brass instruments. His Symphony for 5-part Brass Choir also known as his Brass Quintet No. 1 Op. 5 remains among his greatest works. It is often thought that Ewald's four quintets are the first original pieces to be composed for the ensemble recognised today as the Brass Quintet. The first of these Symphony comprises three movements; 1) Moderato 2) Adagio-Allegro-Adagio and 3) Allegro Moderato. Including separate parts as well as a full score this edition of Ewald's Symphony for 5-PartBrass Choir is not to be missed by aspiring brass ensembles.

Hawk in Winter Light was inspired by the sight of a hawk circling obsessively on a bright November day hence the constantly circular nature of the music and especially its melodic material. Though the central section is quicker the underlying pulse remains the same and the transition to a quicker tempo is hardly noticeable. The piece is therefore and unusually for a brass quintet a single entity in which the outer sections are closely related the final part being partly a reprise and partly a variation of the opening.The piece was commissioned by the KlaraFestival of Flanders and is dedicated to Fine Arts Brass who gave its first performance during thefestival in Belgium on the 20 September 2005.

Par SAMITZ NICO. En tant qu'ode à la société, l'?uvre Together (ensemble) a le pouvoir d?exprimer l?énergie qui peut survenir lorsque vous passez du temps avec des personnes proches ; des sentiments euphoriques de bonheur, à la 'coolness' (sérénité) jusqu?à la gratitude et l'espoir, une grande variété d'états émotionnels exprimés sous forme musicale. L'importance de la société a été une fois de plus mise en évidence par l'isolement pendant la pandémie de Covid. C?est à cette période que cette pièce a été composée. / Date parution : 2023-03-11/ Répertoire / Quintette de Cuivres
