Heroic Suite (Score & Parts) (Eighth Note Publications) David Marlatt

This Suite is ideal for the developing brass quintet. The melody is found throughout the ensemble and all parts are interesting. Each of the movements has its own character or mood and this allows for expressive playing as well as brilliant fanfares. Since the movements are fairly short (with many optional repeats) this is an excellent set of pieces for performances that are restricted by a time limit such as a concert or reception. This would also make an excellent contest piece at a festival to show off the musical capabilities of a young ensemble.
