The Feller from Fortune is a traditional Newfoundland folk song. I originally arranged it for 5-voice choir, but works just as well for brass or woodwind quintets.

The Capriccio Italien, Op. 45, is a fantasy for orchestra composed between January and May 1880 by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. It premiered 18 December, 1880 (New System) in Moscow, conducted by Nikolay Rubinstein.
The Capriccio was inspired by a trip Tchaikovsky took to Rome with his brother Modest as respite from the composer's disastrous marriage with Antonina Miliukova. It was in Rome, however, that the observant Tchaikovsky called Raphael a Mozart of painting.

While in Rome, he wrote to his friend Nadezhda von Meck:

I have already completed the sketches for an Italian fantasia on folk tunes for which I believe a good fortune may be predicted. It will be effective, thanks to the delightful tunes which I have succeeded in assembling partly from anthologies, partly from my own ears in the streets.

The composer was able to soak up Italian street music and folk songs which he then incorporated into his Capriccio.This enables some bright primary colors and uncomplicated tunefulness..

I was asked to arrange these old Cornish tunes as part of a project on the history of Tea Treat festivals for the Cornish National Music Archive.
These events were held by churches or chapels, usually to celebrate a Sunday School anniversary, and involved a procession as well as entertainment, stalls, games and refreshments. Brass Bands would have been hired to play for the procession and provide background music throughout the day and it is believed that, alongside some more military-style marches, these are the type of pieces that would have been played.

I have included parts for brass band or orchestral players:
Part 1 - Trumpet/Cornet in Bb
Part 2 - Trumpet/Cornet in Bb
Part 3 - Tenor Horn in Eb/Horn in F
Part 4 - Trombone/Euphonium/Baritone in Treble/Bass Clef
Part 5 - Eb/Bb Bass (Treble Clef) or Tuba (Bass Clef)

This is one of the most well-known folk songs from the 19th Century. The performance duration of this selection is about five minutes at the suggested tempo. This selection will find welcome performance opportunities whenever a lighter-themed selection of Americana music is desired. While light-themed in nature, this arrangement places musical challenges upon the performers, all of whom should be medium advanced in their performance skills. This arrangement is written alla breve and begins in the key of F Major (concert), but modulates to G Major (concert) and eventually concludes in Ab Major (concert). The Trumpet I part ascends scale-wise to written Eb above high C at the end of a run at one point. The French Horn has a couple of instances of a written high G, A, and Bb above the staff. Otherwise, ranges are reasonable.

The arrangement has multiple musical references to the American West. To this arranger the melody suggested a reference to fiddle tunes and barn dances, an important social and cultural past-time of the era. It seemed like a logical direction to steer this arrangement.

This is a brass quintet arrangement of Grainger's Irish Tune from County Derry. Optional instruments may be used for added warmth. The notated pause is optional, but considering this piece has little to no breaks, take that pause and as many pauses as needed for your and your players' chops. The Youtube video is me performing this arrangement in one take for each instrument and as you can tell I ran out of endurance and breath at the end but managed to push through.
