vox merus' programme, 5: Music for Brass Quintet, was extremely well received by the M@BR audience today...of special mention was the presence of Irish / Australian composer Houston Dunleavy, for the premiere of his brass quintet version of Music for Foul Play....thanks also to concert organiser Bill Dowdall and the M@BR team. The venue is very favourable for brass and made the concert a pleasure for performers and audience alike!
The programme was an homage to ground-breaking brass quintets and their repertoire, including:
Philip Jones Brass Quintet
Giles Farnaby - Fancies, Toyes & Dreams
Andre Previn - Four Outings for Brass
Canadian Brass
Samuel Scheidt - Galliard Battaglia
JS Bach - Little Fugue in G Minor
Empire Brass
Victor Ewald - Brass Quintet No 3, Movement 1
The Wallace Collection
