Swanee is a popular song written by George Gershwin in 1919, most often associated with the singer Al Jolson. Supposedly written in 10 minutes, it is partly a parody of Stephen Foster's Old Folks at Home. Once Jolson added it to his show Sinbad the song took off and became a hit, the biggest of Gershwin's career.Dave Machell, a top UK arranger and composer has cleverly arranged this 4-minute brass quintet work for advanced performers.

About the Taiwan Fantasia, van Deursen states: After having lived in Taipei for a number of years, I learned many of the local folk and popular songs. Some of the melodies are exceptionally beautiful, and my idea was to somehow combine all the elements that have made up my musical experiences over these years - Chinese melodies, western orchestral music and jazz; I wanted to see if these songs could survive with a totally different harmonic structure and concept. My original goal was to write a simple arrangement of the two songs, but quickly I discovered more melodies building upon the original ones and thus the Variations were born. Composed in 1995, this work of about 10 minutes in length is in one continuous movement, but is divided into seven short sections of contrasting moods including two cadenzas, for Trumpet and Trombone. The music is appropriate for advanced performers. Parts in C and B-flat are supplied for the Trumpets. A recording of Taiwan Fantasia can be purchased on iTunes from the album by the Yeh Shu Han Brass Quintet.
