Brass Quintet

Davies' Brass Quintet study is exuberant in style and does not disapoint with its rare quality being a consistent and fully developed structure and is as substantial as you might expect a string quartet to be. My BrassQuintet attempts to provide the repertory with a work of real chamber music insofar as the players are involved in an intimate kind of music-making

Brass quintets are exuberant almost by definition and Davies's certainly does not disappoint. It has though the rarer quality of being a consistent gripping and fully developed work: a piece as substantial as one might expect a string quartet to be. There are three movements of which the first is a romping Allegro with a slow introduction. Then comes a slow movement with vividly alive duetting from the trumpets and the finale is again fast except for a passage of questioning before the end.Set of parts.This is a special item which is made to order.

Op. 33 for Brass Quintet. Commissioned by the Three Choirs Festival 1992 and premiered by the London Gabrieli Brass Consort.This is a short piece for brass quintet in one movement. The polyphony of the introduction gives wayto massed chords which in turn lead to the first main section. This is a funeral march during which all the instruments have solos in turn. The trombone is first then trumpet I; horn; later in duet with trumpet II; finallythere is long solo for the tuba.The second section is a series of fanfares on trumpets joined by the horn which alternate with successive phrases of a chorale melody on the lower instruments - horn trombone and tuba. MitFried and Freud ich far dahin is Martin Luther’s masterly and very beautiful re-creation in German of the Nunc dimittus. The massed chords of the introduction then return and the piece ends with the polyphony with which itbegan.Parts available: SOS04782

Commissioned by Stockholm Chamber Brass in 1998 Anders Hilllborg’s Brass Quintet is imbued with energy. Ethereal floating textures materialise between pulse-driven hocketing sections and the 8-minute work fades out in a lyrical chorale.
