Bach - Aria from Goldberg Variations BWV 988 for Brass QuintetThe Goldberg Variations is arguably one of the greatest works of art in Western culture. A true work of genius that was first published in 1741 for harpsichord. Aria, a Sarabande about 5 minutes in length in 3 4 is the very first movement of the 30 variation work and is heavily ornamented. Justin Chiang has doubled the time to 6 4 and written out all of the ornaments, making the performance possibilities much more practical for most brass quintet

they are some of the finest works from the pen of the composer

I learned many of the local folk and popular songs

"The Sackbut"

He later added wind parts to allow more of his students to participate

for Brass Quintet and Organ has been performed many times by the Vancouver Symphony Brass at Christmas concerts

Timpani/Percussion and Narrator

The 5 movements total about 9 minutes in length and have the following titles:

Ralph Sauer has chosen five of the pieces (twelve minutes of music) that are suitable for two Trombones

lyrical and idiosyncratic

Hymne - Also an ethereal love song

Bach was an innovator as an early Classical era composer

The music of Samuel Scheidt is a beautiful fit for modern Brass instruments and Keith Terrett has done a magnificent job with this arrangement which can be performed by moderately advanced performers
