Brass Ensemble - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1017074 Composed by Franz Schubert. Arranged by Eoin Buchanan. Contemporary. Score and parts. 37 pages. 7plc Music #6079123. Published by 7plc Music (A0.1017074). Winterreise or Winter Journey takes me back to my days at music college when this was a set study piece. Twenty Four songs with sixteen (I think) in the minor key tell of the rejected lover's journey into winter, leaving behind his rich lover. This is an arrangement of the first song in the cycle. Performers need to make sure that the speed is kept to a moderate walk and that the solo parts, tuba and trombone are not drowned in too much of a Mahlerian style. Just enjoy and perhaps even read a good translation of the text before performing.

Brass Ensemble - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1017083 Composed by Franz Schubert. Arranged by Eoin Buchanan. Romantic Period. Score and parts. 36 pages. 7plc Music #6109115. Published by 7plc Music (A0.1017083). Our rejected lover continues his journey through winter. Heart frozen, shivering with the rejection and dejection, number by cold and depression and watching his tears melting the snow as they fall. This arrangement is to say the very least, tricky, calling for technical expertise, irregular phrasing, stamina and brilliant ensemble playing. I have tried to share the technical burden of the continuous triplet motif.Read the text which Schubert set in this song full of pathos and raw beauty.Enjoy!
