Some of you may know the Bourgeois Concerto for Brass Quintet and Brass Band (and orchestral version). Before the concerto version it was originally written just as a brass quintet for the Phiip Jones Brass Quintet but they considered it too big/difficult a blow and never performed it hence the subsequent versions.

With Derek's permission I've now created a performance of the original version (and you really can understand why PJBE balked at it) which you can hear (in it's virtual world premier after 38 years) here;

This was created with Sibelius 6 and the Vienna Symphonic library and you can read a bit more about it on my WS.

Hope you enjoy it. :tuba:
