This brass quintet arrangement of the majestic and powerful Fanfare Prelude to Libusa Overture from 1881, composed for orchestral brass by Czech Bedrich Smetana, retains brass choir resonance with five performers. A very accessible work for students, doubling parts within your band and orchestra brass sections further enhances the impact of the fanfare. Trumpet parts in B-flat and C are included and a flugelhorn/trumpet substitute part for horn. The sound file is an actual brass quintet performance and not a computer playback of the score. See my orchestral brass section (4 tpts, 4 horns, 3 trbs, 1 tuba, timp) edition and my brass band version of this fanfare if considering using a larger brass group.Â
