Brass Ensemble - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.775358 By Bonnie Tyler. By Jim Steinman. Arranged by Alex Wilson. Pop. Score and parts. 55 pages. Alexander Wilson #6702973. Published by Alexander Wilson (A0.775358). Co-written by Jim Steinman and Dean Pitchford and made famous by singer Bonnie Tyler, Holding Out For A Hero is a song that has been relevant to popular culture from 1984 to the present day.  Originally written for the soundtrack of Footloose, the song has since appeared in many TV shows, commercials, and other movies, including the film Shrek 2, and more recently, Disney's TV series Loki.From the sultry melody, to the female chorus, to the trumpet parts in the original song, this piece is arranged beautifully for trumpet ensemble.  This particular arrangement is 4 minutes long, in the original key, and includes 9 Bb trumpet parts.  The 1st part additionally requires access to a Bb piccolo trumpet.  Parts 1-4 are rather challenging, while parts 5-9 are easier but still fun to play.  The required skill level is approximately that of an undergraduate trumpet studio.

Brass Ensemble - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.774879 Composed by Sir Arthur Seymour Sullivan. Arranged by Bill Wilson. 20th Century. Score and parts. 22 pages. Alexander Wilson #553031. Published by Alexander Wilson (A0.774879). Arthur Sullivan wrote the music to The Lost Chord at his brother's deathbed. It is wistful, introspective, emotional, and rises to a powerful climax. There are arrangements of this fabulous song for brass quintet, but they omit what I feel are important harmonic elements that are included in this brass sextet version. This powerful piece is suitable in a serious concert setting or in a church setting where the message is about loss. A Toot Suite Brass Arrangement for two Bb trumpets, French horn, trombone, baritone, and tuba.  Performance time is approximately 3:30.  Visit our website, www.tootsuitebrasspublishing.com, for a catalog of our arrangements available through sheetmusicplus.com.

Brass Ensemble - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.775299 By Chicago. By Robert Lamm. Arranged by Alex Wilson. Pop,Rock. Score and parts. 28 pages. Alexander Wilson #5299121. Published by Alexander Wilson (A0.775299). Written by Robert Lamm and recorded in 1969, 25 or 6 to 4 is one of the band Chicago's most well known hits.  There was speculation about the meaning of the title, including one hypothesis that led the song to be banned in Singapore for over 20 years for alleged allusions to drugs, but according to the composer the song is about writing music in the early morning, and the title is nothing more salacious than 3:35am (25 to 4) or 3:34am (26 to 4).In any case, this song remains a classic of the rock genre 40 years after its publication, and is arranged here for 10 Bb trumpets.  Most of the higher and more difficult licks are concentrated in the top 4 parts, and the 1st part requires particular skill (leading me to mark this arrangement's difficulty as advanced intermediate), but each trumpeter involved will have have at least one moment of guitar-solo glory.  Perfect for a large trumpet ensemble with diverse skill levels.
