About this arrangement

Brass Quintet SKU: AP.81-BQ9730 Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by David Marlatt. New York Festival List. Eighth Note Publications. Baroque. Score and Part(s). Duration 00:02:30. Eighth Note Publications #81-BQ9730. Published by Eighth Note Publications (AP.81-BQ9730). ISBN 9781554722389. UPC: 685462003563. English.The famous Art of the Fugue by Bach has been arranged for string orchestra and brass quintet. This new version uses the brilliant colour of the 2 trumpets against the warmer sound of the horn, trombone, and tuba. There is a significant section in the middle in which just the bottom three voices are playing and that dark rich sound is truly a successful scoring. There is an optional e-flat trumpet part to keep the upper lines more light.
