Co-op Press is offering two free ways for your brass quintet to
present a birthday greeting to your audiences. The first is Sy
Brandon’s arrangement of “Good Morning To All”. The melody "Good
Morning to All" was formally published in 1893 as part of a
collection, registered in October 1893, and is public domain by U. S.
statute. As a matter of information, the song "Happy Birthday" is
based on "Good Morning to All". The arrangement contains a
traditional setting followed by a jazz version. Both versions can be
performed separately or as a group. The second is a treatment of the
same melody in a 45” fugue exposition alla Bach, hence the title
“Happy Birthday J.S.” You can sample these works and other
compositions and arrangements by Sy Brandon by visiting http://
cooppress.hostrack.net and clicking on “brass ensembles” and then on
the titles under the “Brass Quintet Arrangements” category.
