If you are looking for some new and challenging stuff, check out my hopempage:

The Ewazen are not exactly new, but they now come froma new publisher and have been re-typeset. The Monteregian Hills has also been re-tyepset.

The Santa Barbara Sonata is a good challenge as well as the Kerry Turner charts!

In 1 month, I will have Rhapsody in Blue - Gershwin available for Brass Quintet. This will go into print for the ITG and ITEC Conferences. It will also be available through my site and other dealers. It is challenging, but it really works! It also took 3+ years of pain dealing with Warner Bros. (before Alfred) to get permission for the chart!!

Let me know if you have any questions on the charts on the site.

Take care,

I really like the Thorwald Hansen quintet from 1904. Some really lovely stuff there. Sort of the same genre as Maurer.

Has anyone done any quintet adaptations of the Ramsoe quartets?

So, who publishes the quintet version of this? The Ramsoe works are originally quartets.

Have you tried the

Etler - Quintet
Lutoslawski - Mini Overture
Jan Bach -Laudes AND Rounds and Dances
Sampson - Morning Music (Mourning?)
Wilder - I think he wrote 8 Quintets
Tilson Thomas - Street Song

This should keep your hands full for many years

I asked that we only program one "grade 10" piece per recital in the future.

If you want to get even with the trumpets, call up Kerry Turner's "Ricochet." It is an amazing quintet that has some rodeo-sounding licks. The first trumpet part is insane--lots of high, face-eating passages. (Some of the 1st part is supposed to be played on pic at the discretion of the performer, but the player in question--monster chops--insisted on using his C.) The audience loved the piece. I wanted to get a better recording and tried to see if the group would play it again, but got thrown out of the room by the trumpet players
