The Planets: Jupiter for Brass Quintet and Piano Sheet Music

I have revised all of the movements from Holst's "The Planets" to include piano.

That's a grade 7.5

[@itsalexanderbotha1504]

There’s some balancing issues, the tune is unclear sometimes and, sometimes the articulation is wrong, but that could just be the player you are using.

[@FrogJuicee]

It’s electronic instruments not real ones

[@brananherndon6947]

The_Rad_Frogfish I think he meant midi player. I’m not sure if that’s what it’s called, but that may be what he was getting at.

[@sheajohnson6310]

that trumpet 1 part at the end. biiiiiiiiiiiiiig no from me boss

[@The80sBoy]

Hi Reese, excellent arrangement of one of my favourite orchestral pieces. You've kept the feeling and motivation of all of the sections. As a trumpet player I would use a piccolo trumpet to make sure some of the higher range is more secure. I like the use of the piano, it adds a lot to the performance. Bravo!

[@JoaoBarbosa-qj7jk]

Amazing...

[@dedede5586]

THE ENDING THO 👏👏👏

[@MusicNerdMIDI]

Small typo I think, at 5:49 , measure 324 should have G# in 1st trumpet. Either way very nice arrangement of this piece!

[@reeseblaskowski4625]

Not sure how you noticed that lol, but yes, you're right. And thank you!

[@jonathansalcedo2522]

I would say, the low G’s in the piano before the Hymn are pretty impossible, the doubling required is only possible on a concert grand, not to mention the distress of the player...

[@reeseblaskowski4625]

That part is directly from Holst's two pianos score of this piece, the notation indicates to play it using 4 fingers, one for each sixteenth note. I've never tried it but I would imagine it's doable for high level players.

[@choojunwyng8028]

is it possible to play the opening trumpet part on trombone because i would want to hear a trombone ensemble play jupiter

[@dekomposer]

Yes, but you need a pretty good trombonist to do that. I think most college trombonists wouldn't be able to but it also depends on the key. Some keys allow you to do the running notes using the F trigger which makes things much easier.

[@shrimpman9545]

I mean you could, but you’d need some good trombone players if you don’t want it to sound bad

[@ikeanduha5715]

This sounds like something from LoZ tbh

[@ABFan-bj2uj]

in the 3rd beat of measure 392, the 1st trumpet should play a tuplet with 10 notes, not 11.

[@davidmonteiro4126]

Hello. What software did you use to make the score?

[@spookety902]

So I’m pretty sure the trombone part should be in tenor clef instead of bass but other than that excellent arrangement.

[@lealowenherz636]

Why should it be in tenor clef? This are normal notes for a trombone there not specially high, so why?(sry for my bad English)

[@liamr519]

trumpet mouth RIP

[@brylancaldwell1556]

Something tells me that the arranger has never played a brass instrument nor the piano because some stuff in the piece is literally impossible for a person to play. However, good transposition, even if some things are pretty annoying in the piece

[@liamr519]

Not the Trumpet. Nor the piano. Just look at 5:40.

[@liamr519]

and 6:44.

[@cunurelive]

lol it’s just chromatics and the dectuplets aren’t hard at all at the tempo given at the end.. the piano part is also very possible in the places you mentioned. this arrangement struggles in many other places but everything you mentioned is very possible... hard but possible (coming from a piano player of 12 years and trumpet of 8, neither being my main instrument)

[@overtonegamer]

Yeah this is really not playable by actual brass players, not by a long shot.

[@atmu2871]

Skill issue

[@overtonegamer]

@@atmu2871 Right, how many trumpet players do you know who can go 21 straight measures of 16th notes with no breath? The answer is zero unless you are talking about Rafael Mendez, Wynton Marsalis, or a small number of other world famous players who can circular breath while playing angular double tonguing like this. If you write a part that only a handful of players in history can play, that is certainly a skill issue: an arranging skill issue.
