"The First Noel" (for Brass Quintet)

Previously, we published this arrangement in a slightly less common brass quintet instrumentation. I thought it was high time to record, in the more conventional configuration, with a horn track in place of the baritone.
Here’s a direct link to this one:

Over the years, I’ve seen a dearth of MUSICAL, PLAYABLE, and PRACTICAL brass quintet arrangements of Christmas music. Most I have played is either musically unsatisfying, far more technically difficult than necessary, or written such that inclusion on a full concert program is not ideal because it’s extremely physically taxing. These arrangements will address those issues.
I hope you’ll enjoy this little arrangement of “The First Noel,” which had its beginnings nearly 30 years ago when I was just out of high school and playing Christmas music with some friends to collect donations to benefit the Pittsburgh Children’s Hospital. I wanted to feature my good friend, tuba player, and college roommate, Jason, so there is a nice solo for tuba to open the piece, but all five players get to take the lead at various points.

I want to give a special shoutout regarding the instrument I am playing in the video: the JP Smith-Watkins Bb Trumpet (Bb Trumpet: JP251SW). This is an “intermediate level” trumpet that plays as well as most professional line instruments, for a much nicer price.

Not sure how i missed your actual channel. Im not going to comment on every video. You wouldnt have time to read them all! 😅 this is great stuff! Thanks, Drew!

[@TheMusicofDrewFennell]

Thanks. If you like this one, even nicer is the "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen" quintet arrangement. I am particularly proud of that one, I think.
