One of the great fanfares in the orchestral repertoire, brought to life for flexible brass ensemble without sacrificing a note of its brilliance or technical demand. Paul Dukas's Fanfare for La Péri is a masterclass in brass writing — bold, ceremonial, and thrillingly effective — and this arrangement delivers that full impact in a format accessible to high school and college ensembles.
Scored for nine flexible brass parts across three trumpets, two horns, trombone/euphonium, and tuba/bass trombone, the instrumentation is designed to accommodate real-world ensemble configurations. Optional flugelhorn substitutions for horn parts and an optional horn substitution for third trombone/euphonium give directors meaningful flexibility without compromising the balance and weight the fanfare demands. Simplified doublings ensure the arrangement holds together regardless of exactly who's in the room.
Versatile across contexts, this is a natural concert opener or closer, a strong festival and adjudication choice, and an ideal processional for ceremonies that call for something more distinctive than the standard repertoire. Medium in difficulty, it is well within reach of most advanced high school and college brass players.
Score and all individual parts included.
One of the crown jewels of the Renaissance brass repertoire, Giovanni Gabrieli's Canzona per Sonare No. 2 arrives in a flexible brass ensemble arrangement that preserves the antiphonal drama and contrapuntal richness of the original while putting it within reach of real-world ensembles. Written for one of the most celebrated composers of the Venetian School — whose music echoed through the vast spaces of St. Mark's Basilica — this is a piece with history in every phrase.
Scored for nine flexible brass parts across three trumpets, two horns, trombone/euphonium, and tuba/bass trombone, the arrangement is designed to accommodate varying instrumentation without losing the textural balance that makes Gabrieli's writing so distinctive. Optional parts and simplified doublings give directors the tools to adapt the scoring to available players, ensuring a complete and satisfying performance regardless of ensemble configuration.
Medium in difficulty and genuinely versatile, this arrangement programs beautifully across a wide range of contexts — as a concert opener or closer, a festival and adjudication selection, a ceremony or processional, a sacred service, or general concert programming. Included historical and program notes give students and audiences the context to appreciate Gabrieli's place in music history and the remarkable sonic world his canzonas were written to inhabit.
