Stephanie Daige #3246017. Published by Stephanie Daige (A0.796858). 2017 Holiday Contest EntryThis arrangement of seven traditional Christmas favorites for brass quintet will make your heart joyful as you prepare for the Christmas season! The melody moves around from instrument to instrument in a conversation-like way, with rich harmonies enhancing the melodies. The medley begins triumphantly in the key of concert F Major, moves soulfully to the parallel minor, then finishes brightly back in F Major. Christmas carols featured are:·     Joy to the World·     Good King Wenceslas·     We Wish You a Merry Christmas·     Deck the Halls·     God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen·     What Child is This?·     Ding Dong Merrily on HighI hope you will enjoy performing this medley as much as I have enjoyed arranging it! Audiences are sure to love it. This would work well in a variety of venues during the Christmas season: school concert, church, shopping mall background music, chamber music concert, prelude to a choral performance/ carol sing-along, etc. It’s perfect for anywhere you want to lift people’s spirits with beautiful,familiar seasonal music. There are also versions of this medley (with slightly different titles) available for woodwind quintet, flute choir, clarinet choir, string quartet, saxophone quartet, and piano. 

Brass Ensemble - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.796864 Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by Stephanie Daige. Baroque. Score and parts. 29 pages. Stephanie Daige #3368125. Published by Stephanie Daige (A0.796864). This little fugue is one of Bach's most famous and beloved keyboard works. Re-imagined for brass quintet, it is a challenging and fun setting for this fugue.  The five instruments take turns entering with the subject of the fugue, and interplay back and forth with the other instruments.  The timbres of the different instruments add a whole new textural dimension to this already fascinating work by J.S. Bach. I considered the need to breathe for each of these brass instruments, which obviously wasn’t an issue in the original version intended for organ. This piece would be appropriate for advanced high school students, college students,or professionals. It would do well in a chamber music concert, a church, or between acts of a larger ensemble concert,perhaps in another location of the auditorium while a (quiet!) set change is taking place. It would also work well as prelude or lobby music. The duration is just over three minutes (or longer if you prefer to take it slower). Each measure is numbered individually for convenience during rehearsals.  I hope you will enjoy performing this piece as much as I have enjoyed arranging it! There is also a version of this piece available for woodwind quintet. Please check out my other arrangements at:http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/publishers/stephanie-daige/6875
