What are your favorite brass quintet pieces?

[BVD Press]

Some fun and quirky pieces:

Dance - Renwick (warn the Trumpets the parts are in C!)

Polka from the Golden Age - Shostakovich
anyone else out there change the last note to Bb?

Ain't Misbehavin - Henderson (Canadian Brass)

Call me a musical simpleton, but I still think Sonata from Die Baenkelsaengerlieder is a blast (Robt. King)

I'm surprised more people haven't said this. When played with the right lightness and energy, Die Bankersangerlieder is just awesome!

We're playing Ewald No. 2 right now....great piece....and the Malcolm Arnold....I really dig that.

If your BQ coach ever puts the Alvin Etler Quintet in front of you, there is only one thing to do......RUN!!

(Actually....it's a difficult but great piece....it just requires a lot of commitment from the group....)

My $.02.....

Play the Plog, if your trumpets are willing. If they aren't, ask them if it's too hard, see what happens then...
