Morley, Byrd, Greaves, Wilby & Weelkes – An Elizabethan Celebration, Five Madrigals (Brass Quintet)

Dowland was the most famous composer of his day - he had an international reputation and was famous for the beauty of his songs. The dance numbers here show a complexity way beyond the normal brass consort music of his time. The gentle Semper Dowland, Semper Dolens is one of the most beautiful pieces of the 16th (or indeed any) Century. Arranged by Stephen Wick and suitable for students and professionals.

Written for players at the Centre for Young Musicians in London where the composer Gordon Carr taught for thirty years.

Arranged by Stephen Wick, this is a show piece for two solo piccolo trumpets and is a sumptuous alternative to the Purcell. For advanced students and professionals.

At last, a Mozart arrangement that works for brass! A charming ländler but with the colourful addition of a piccolo trumpet that represents the post horn, and a set of tuned sleighbells (that can be replaced by the more commonly found unpitched sleighbells). Great fun for classy Christmas concerts, but needs a piccolo trumpet player capable of holding high notes! Arranged by Stephen Wick.
