While the modern brass quintet has only been around since the 1940s, a wealth of compositions has developed, ranging from the obvious bold and energetic works that horns are known for to the more tender and subtle repertoire these instruments are beautifully capable of playing.
The stellar ensemble of DeShannon Higa (trumpet), Casey Tamanaha (trumpet), Marie Lickwar (horn), Jason Byerlotzer (trombone), and T.J. Ricer (tuba) will present an evening of outstanding music for brass quintet featuring both “classical” works and popular songs on the lighter side.
The concert will include selections from the following pieces:
- Galliard Battaglia: Samuel Scheidt (1587–1654)
- Three Pieces: Ludwig Mauer (1789–1878)
- Renaissance Dances: Tielman Susato (1500–1561)
- Sheep May Safely Graze Quintet: J.S. Bach (1685–1750)
- Brass quintet: Michael Kamen (1948–2003)
- White Rose Elegy: Caleb Hudson (b. 1988)
- Puttin on the Ritz: Irving Berlin (1888–1989)
- Nightingale Sang on Berkeley Square: Manning Sherwin (1902–1974)
