Free Low Brass Trios: PDF and MP3 too!

I've arranged a few pieces for low brass trio, if anyone is interested in trying some of them out I'd love to have some feedback. The guys I play with are always very complimentary, but they're my friends so I don't know if they're just being nice or not! These trios are scored for two euphs (or trombones) and a tuba (or bass trombone). All parts here are in bass clef, but I can make treble clef availble if anyone is interested.

I didn't put any tempo markings, but the gavotte should be quick, like half note = 80, and the sarabande fairly slow, maybe quarter = 60 to 70. As for dynamics, well, just get louder and softer here and there.

<edit> see the post below for the links. Thanks WSB!

Here are audio files of the pieces, for your listening enjoyment. (You may have to right-click and "save file as" if they don't open up in your media player.)

These look nice. I'll see if we can try them out this weekend. Thanks. On Sarabande I might look at sharing the high tricky stuff between parts I and II rather than having part I do it all. Depends on the players' abilities I suppose but I think of it a bit like how you want to switch things between trumpets I and II in quintet arranging
