Dowland – Dances from Lachrimae (Brass Quintet) – Score Digital Download

Fast and furious with all the excitement expected in a finale. Good luck! Arranged by Tom Whitehurst and suitable for colleges, conservatories, professionals, amateurs and community performing groups.

This arrangement of familiar nursery rhymes was intended as a means of introducing younger children to the medium of the brass quintet. Each rhyme is dressed in a musical identity, with each player given plenty of note activity. Some rhymes are slightly tongue in cheek while others are blatantly satirical. The work opens and closes with the rhyme Oranges and Lemons and the medley runs logically lasting for 5 to 6 minutes. It is an ideal encore item or light alternative to follow a quintet that might have challenged both performer and listener. A Medley of Rhymes for Five Brass is a popular addition to serious concert programmes.

This is a charming collection of madrigals arranged effectively for brass quintet by Ian Lawrence.

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.
