Brass Quintet

The Music of George Gershwin
by George Gershwin
arr. Zack Smith
Price: $30

Transposed parts can be ordered.


This arrangement is part of a series that Zack has created for Alfred Music and features the music of great jazz composers.  Designed as a showpiece when played in its entirety, each song in the medley can be performed individually if desired.  The piece begins with a nod to "Rhapsody in Blue", then quickly moves into "Our Love Is Here To Stay".  Trumpet carries the melody while trombone and trumpet 2 play some jazz (solos are written).  "Embraceable You" is a lush ballad featuring the trombone.  The big finale is "I Got Rhythm", and hopefully you do as the piece goes through several time signature changes and has a finger twisting solo for trumpet 2.  This arrangement is designed for experienced high school and advanced ensembles.
