Religious music for low brass quartet/trio/duets/etc...

Post by jon112780 »

Anybody have any music that they have played and liked? Perhaps some arrangements sold in a set? Doesn't matter the instrumentation, but has to be at least two players and in bass clef. Would prefer something at the high school level, as there are some guys in our church who only touch the horn on Sunday mornings, so the easier the better. I can water-down some parts/change octaves/etc if needed...

Any ideas would be appreciated!

There is a lot of Canadian Brass stuff for quintets that is easy to play. Try Sheet Music Plus. Also, there are lots of things on BVD Press. We have the privilege of having one member who arranges for us. The latest "Precious Lord, Take My Hand" was very well received because it incorporated blues and jazz sections with the traditional corral. One of the trumpet players, substituted with a Flugle Horn to add to the effect. The horn played had to blow off her bell to keep up.

You might want to check out Cimarron Music http://www.cimarronmusic.com/. They list a number of pieces for low brass ensemble, including an arrangement of Tchesnokov's "Salvation is Created" for tuba ensemble (it's 3 euphs and 3 tubas, which may be more than you can round up).
