[Trombone-l] Symphonic Brass Recommendations

[Steve Gamble]

Hi Bob,

It doesn't quite fit your specs, but I have a nice arrangement of an
antiphonal piece by Palestrina that can be done with orchestral brass
section (4331) entitled Spiritus Sanctus.  It's originally for 8 voices,
so there is a tiny bit of 'original' music in there.  It's available
from Brassworks4.

Subject: [Trombone-l] Symphonic Brass Recommendations

This list always seems to come through with the best suggestions for
literature.  The director of our community orchestra is trying a
different
theme for one of our subscription concerts this year - pieces that
feature
different sections of the orchestra.  He has actually asked for
suggestions
from the brass section for this concert.  Does anyone have a favorite
5-7
minute piece scored for symphonic brass (4 horns, 2-3 trumpets, 3
trombones,
and tuba) they would like to recommend.  Difficulty is probably not an
issue
for the group.  Of course the greatest consideration should be that
there
are good parts for the trombone section!!  Original compositions for
brass
rather than transcriptions would be preferred, I think.  
 
Thanks,
