where do you get the sheet music im having trouble finding it

[billatnz]

@pritty3478 We got this piece and a lot of other quintet music direct from Canadian Brass. We have also received good arrangements and service from Matt Kingston and Brass Music on line. I’m sure there are other suppliers we have used but these are the ones that spring to mind. I hope this helps.

I think it's well done. What did they use for the French horn?

[billatnz]

Thanks for your comment. The French horn part is played on a tenor horn (as used in an English style brass band).

[IanEColeman]

Is that a reed horn? Or standard brass buzzing mouthpiece?

[billatnz]

Standard buzzing mouthpiece. It is a very beautiful sounding instrument. A search for tenor horn on youtube will give some good examples.

bravo. this is an EXTREMELY difficult piece to play. I dare any trumpet player to play through either part 1 or 2 without making a few mistakes. unless you're the Canadian Brass, it won't happen haha. Anyway, good job!

@ReconciIed Especially on a Bb Trumpet of all things, hah. I am as well.

[TheNorthernPilot]

One more person in this world is severely lacking in appreciation and taste.

[ReconciIed]

I'm playing the 1st trumpet part on a Bb trumpet for a brass quintet performance. This is a really difficult piece (especially at the tempo taken in this video), but I absolutely love it.
