The late Philip Jones pioneered the 10 piece brass ensemble format: 4 trumpets 1 horn 4 trombones 1 tuba
A US/Chicago tuba friend plays in a such ensemble and called for more repertory for this format. Which inspired me to make some arrangements. Heinrich Schütz (1585 - 1672) wrote the cantata ³Die sieben Worte Jesu Christi am Kreuz² in Dresden in 1645. The opening Sinfonia is set for SATTB viols. I have previously made arrangements of this wonderful piece to which I have added 2 optional solo voices improvising/embellishing over the original setting. An optional continuo part set for guitar also has been added. One version is set for 5 tutti horns (a" is the top note in the 1st horn part) with 2 optional solo horns. For the 10 piece format I have made 2 versions. One has the solo parts played by an A piccolo trumpet and a D trumpet. The other has the solo parts played an octave lower by a flugelhorn and a horn in F or Eb. All versions of the Schütz Sinfonia can be found here: <http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/YorkMasterBBb/files/Heinrich%20Sch%80% A0%A0%FCtz%20Jesu%207%20Worte%20Am%20Kreuz/> Another part of the 10 piece brass project has been a few excerpts from the 2nd act of Mozart's Magic Flute. So far #11 and #15 have been uploaded: <http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/YorkMasterBBb2/files/W.%20A.%20Mozart% 20-%20The%20Magic%20Flute/> My download homepage has a link for the index of all my uploaded music files (almost).
