This is a nicely done performance by the Gomalan Brass Ensemble, of Barber's Adagio for Strings. I like it better as a brass quintet, than with strings. Anybody know what arrangement they are using, and if it's available? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYislCydAPQ" target="_blank" target="_blank

Thank you Knuxie. It is indeed the Stephen McNeff (Canadian Brass) arrangement. Now I will spend the next 20 years making it sound that good...
