Luvushka, or trap in Russian, draws the audience in with catchy motives, exciting rhythms, and energetic dissonances. I worked on this with several saxophonists to utilize the full potential of the instrument. Additionally, the tambourine part uses advanced techniques and complex rhythms to carry the momentum of the piece through even the stillness of the rests.
The best part about writing a piece for saxophones and tambourines is their ability to play extravagantly difficult material. While in no way impossible, this quartet is intended for college level.

This arrangement is part of the Chicago Gargoyle Brass and Organ Ensemble Signature Series.

Chaconne is the final movement of Partita No. 2 in D minor, BWV 1004, for solo violin. While many agree that Chaconne is a masterpiece for violin, it can certainly be argued that it is also among the greatest pieces of music ever written.

Since Bach's time, several transcriptions of the piece have been made for other instruments, including inspired versions by Ferruccio Busoni (piano) and William Thomas Best (organ). This new arrangement, for brass quintet and organ, draws inspiration from both the Busoni and Best transcriptions.

This demanding arrangement showcases the full color and dynamic range of the organ and each brass instrument, from delicate solo passages to heart-pounding power as brass and organ join forces.   

Perfect for any recital, concert or pops program. This arrangement is scored for brass quintet and organ. Trumpet parts are provided in both B-flat and C. Trumpet 1 requires a mute and goes up to high B-flat (concert) once.

Although more famous for his incidental music to A Midsummer Night's Dream, Mendelssohn was commissioned by the King of Prussia to provide music for Racine's religious drama Athalie, which includes the War March of the Priests. The march tune draws its energy from a repeating triplet figure in the introduction, and features a nice legato contrasting section. A great opportunity to teach style and nuance! (2:45)

A glamourous jazz piece, A Night Away showcases the strengths of each instrument. This piece is meant for a smaller band, but is a good opportunity for solos if played by a bigger band! Multiple tempo changes at the end add another level of beauty and draws the audience in more, then the final blow comes with the forte/fortissimo final harmonies. For the musicians, they may find the unique and sarcastic directives amusing.

Grainger writes the following: The Immovable Do (composed 1933-1939) draws its title from one of the two kinds of Tonic Sol-fa notation, one with a movable Do (Do corresponding to the key-note of whatever key the music is couched in, from moment to moment; so that the note designated by Do varies with modulation) and the other with an immovable Do (in which Do always stands for C). In my composition-which is not based on any folksong or popular tune-the immovable Do is a high drone on C which is sounded throughout the whole piece. From the very start (in 1933) I conceived the number for any or all of the following mediums, singly or combined: for organ (or reed organ), for mixed chorus, for wind band or wind groups, for full or small orchestra, for string orchestra or 8 single strings. It seemed natural for me to plan it simultaneously for the different mediums, seeing that such music hinges upon intervallic appeal rather than upon effects of tone color..

All Is Full of Love is a song by Icelandic musician Björk from her third studio album, Homogenic (1997). The lyrics were inspired by love in spring and Ragnarök of Norse mythology; released as a single with a music video directed by Chris Cunningham. The video depicts Björk as a robot being assembled in a factory, who passionately kisses another identical robot. The video is often cited as one of the best of all time and a milestone in computer animation; it has been displayed in art exhibitions and was on display at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. This version draws upon the original version of the song, but also upon other choral and instrumental versions of the song to create a new arrangement for concert band.
