This moving choral work of Brahms, originally scored for choir and organ, is arranged for a nine-part brass ensemble. A brass quartet plays the choral parts, and a brass quintet performs the organ part.
Gloomy, lyrical, and dramatic, “Pines Near a Catacomb” from Respighi’s Pines of Rome is a perfect fit for a trombone ensemble of mixed experience. This arrangement also requires two percussionists playing timpani, suspended cymbal, and tam tam.
Ascenda Music’s vision is to bring exceptional music to the world. We seek out compositions and arrangements created by musicians whose excellent work might otherwise remain less widely known.
With careful attention to the needs of performers and through our selective search for great music, we bring value to composers and to high school, university, conservatory, and professional performing musicians throughout the world.
