This first volume of arrangements for brass quintet features five classic songs from the Great American Songbook. In penning these arrangements, I have tried to ensure that all five instruments have their \u2018moments in the sun\u2019: if not always in each song then certainly throughout the volume itself, which contains a variety of styles and tempi. Thus, Frederick Loewe\u2019s up-tempo opener, On The Street Where You Live<\/i>, and Vincent Youman\u2019s hit Latin dance, Tea for Two, <\/i>bookend medium swing numbers by Richard Rodgers and Harold Arlen, which themselves nestle alongside Karl Suessdorf\u2019s poignant ballad, Moonlight in Vermont.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

The arrangements are very much designed for public performance: whether as amusing novelties\/encores within a concert dominated by more serious music, or perhaps as background music for an event. I hope that brass players of all standards enjoy these arrangements, which demonstrate the sheer beauty of melodic and harmonic invention within the genre.<\/p>\n
