Lembranças do Brasil (Brass Quintet), Dr. Daniel Thrower

Composed by Dr. Daniel Thrower. Duration: 3:15. The title in English is "Memories of Brazil." The piece is Dr. Thrower's happy tune, recalling his memorable week as a music lecturer at an international music festival near Rio de Janeiro. Written in jazz swing style, this ABA form is challenging and fun for all five players. This piece is perfect to add variety to brass quintet concerts of any kind. The trumpet parts call for flugelhorns to lend a mellower laid-back swing feel, though trumpets may be used. The first flugel/trumpet part soars up to high E at the climax, and all parts require a bit of stamina. If desired, a jazz drummer may look at the tuba part or score to create an appropriate jazz set part.
