 "Pin It")
Product Description
For the brass quintet that is asked to play for Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, Veteran's Day, or a sporting event.
This arrangement was intended to give the audience something different than they have been used to hearing from bands or brass groups in the past, but not so radical that they can't sing with it if they wish.
To preserve singability, the song has been kept in A-flat and the rhythm of the melody kept very standard. The harmony and voicing, on the other hand, is unique.
Compare the other brass quintet version.
MP3 sound sample: Entire Piece (synthesizer/midi).
THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER by Key and Smith arranged by Tom Kirkland for brass quintet consisting of two trumpets, two trombones, and a tuba, comes in a pdf file of 376K, with a four-page score, five one-page parts, and a license page, ten pages in all. Performance time should be about 1:20 to 1:30.
