Beethoven - Adagio Cantabile from Sonata No. 8 in C minor for Brass QuintetThe Adagio Cantabile is the second movement of Beethoven's great work known as Sonata Pathtique for Piano written in 1798. The movement is very expressive, it's melody being one of the most recognized of the Classical period, becoming the theme for over 37 years of an internationally famous classical music show as well as showing up in albums by Kiss and Billy Joel. Jim Hopson has beautifully arranged it in the original key of A flat for standard

Randall Malmstrom's brilliant arrangement is for 11-part Brass Ensemble and Timpani (optional)

5th and 7th Symphonies for 10-part Brass Ensemble (double brass quintet)

The simple melody derives from a Puerto Rican song 'Si me dan pasteles

I have purposely left out the optional octaves just to keep the parts uncluttered

This movement is absolutely lyrical

and makes a magical setting to a concert

It Came Upon the Midnight Clear

Contrapunctus IV is a four voice Fugue that uses an inverted form of the original theme (as in Contrapunctus III) with a “falling third” as a countersubject

This jaunty movement arranged by Robert Coulter is a perfect setting for the Euphonium-Tuba Quartet and can be performed by moderate level performers

Jim Pugh's 4 x 2 x 1 is written for Bass Trombone solo with a double Trombone Quartet accompaniment

You will be thrilled with the sound of these songs for Tenor or Bass Trombone and Piano
