Ring of Fire for Brass Quintet - Home Free Version The Backpacking Trombonist 2018-06-27 | This was incredibly difficult for me to arrange because I suck at writing drum parts. But, I hope you enjoy. I arranged this for a brass quintet with a trombonist who can double on bass trombone, which I thought fit the range of the solo part better than a tuba would.
Pentatonix Mary Did You Know Sheet Music for Brass Quintet The Backpacking Trombonist 2017-09-26 | This is an arrangement I finished over a year ago and subsequently forgot about. As usual, I am not giving out sheet music until I can do so legally. I hope you all enjoy.
Stargate SG1 Theme Brass Quintet Sheet Music The Backpacking Trombonist 2017-08-17 | I've recently gotten into watching Stargate SG1 and decided to do a quick brass quintet arrangement of the show's iconic opening fanfare. The bass trombone was substituted for tuba because I thought it's timbre fit the piece better but it can definitely be played on tuba for more traditional quintets. This was done completely by ear so it's not 100% correct but that's part of the joys of arranging. Thanks for listening everybody.
How to Train Your Dragons, Forbidden Friendship Brass Quintet Sheet Music The Backpacking Trombonist 2017-08-17 | After nearly two years of work I have decided to end my work on arranging the How to Train Your Dragon soundtrack for brass quintet with one of my favorite songs, Forbidden Friendship. I may come back to this project one day but for now, I'm going to take some time to work on some other projects for you guys, including more brass choir and trombone quartet/ensemble arrangements. I hope you all enjoy this arrangement.
Olympic Fanfare and Theme for Brass Band Sheet Music The Backpacking Trombonist 2017-07-18 | I've had this finished for about a year but this is my arrangement of John Williams' "Olympic Fanfare and Theme." This is my first brass ensemble arrangement and it was not an easy piece to start with. There are a few engraving/notation things that I have changed for the final print version like putting trills in the Euph and horn parts instead of long strings of 32nd notes. I wrote their parts that way for the playback and Youtube video only. I hope you enjoy.
Light Cavalry Overture Trombone Choir Sheet Music The Backpacking Trombonist 2017-07-12 | Ever since the honor band played Light Cavalry Overture in my freshmen year of high school, it has been one of my all time favorite pieces. I am extremely happy to have chosen this for my first ever trombone choir arrangement. I hope you all enjoy my arrangement of this Franz von Suppé classic.Edit: I have made some changes to some of the parts and have published it on SMP.sheetmusicplus.com/title/light-cavalry-overture-digital-sheet-music/21544536?ac=1
Hymn of Acxiom for Brass Ensemble The Backpacking Trombonist 2017-07-08 | This is my arrangement of "Hymn of Acxiom" for Brass Ensemble. I've spent quite a while on this arrangement and there are still some subtle orchestration things that I'm not happy with yet but it was about time that I gave you guys a new arrangement. I start and end the piece with a horn quartet (plus tuba at the end) for a couple reasons. First, I love the timbre and blend of horn quartets and I wanted to showcase one within a larger context. The horn is unique in it's large range and that is showcased in the first horn part. Second, I was asked to arrange this for Brass Ensemble by a friend and graduate student at my school who happens to be a horn player and Mellophone tech for The Academy Drum and Bugle Corps. I wanted to do something different with this arrangement and his request inspired the opening quartet. Thanks for watching.
Could I Have This Dance The Backpacking Trombonist 2015-08-19 | This is a very, very quick arrangement of "Could I have This Dance" for brass quintet. It is extremely easy and is one of those cut-and-past, repetitive pieces. It's is literally just an intro, two verses separated by a chorus and a short coda. I didn't mess much with the dynamics and did nothing to the articulation. You're musicians create your own interpretation.
Sweet Caroline The Backpacking Trombonist 2015-07-17 | I decided to take a break from my long term projects and do a quick arrangement of Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" for brass quintet. Hope you like it
How to Train Your Dragons, Focus, Hiccup! Brass Quintet Sheet Music The Backpacking Trombonist 2015-07-16 | No. 7 in my series of arrangements of the "How to Train Your Dragon" soundtrack for Brass quintet. This one was just incredibly fun to write. Hopefully it's just as much fun to play.
Hide and Seek for Brass Quintet The Backpacking Trombonist 2015-07-06 | Hide and Seek by Imogen Heap arranged for brass quintet. This is very low for trumpets so if needed, transpose it up a half step into Bb Major. A good Tuba player can hit the high stuff.
How to Train Your Dragons, The Dragon Book Brass Quintet Sheet Music The Backpacking Trombonist 2015-07-03 | No. 6 in my series of the "How to Train Your Dragon" soundtrack for brass quintet. If you have a trombone player and a horn player that can play off beats well (which all of them should be able to) you can easily pull of this arrangement.
How to Train Your Dragons, Wounded for Brass Quintet Sheet Music The Backpacking Trombonist 2015-06-25 | Didn't spend a whole lot of time on the 5th song in my series of "How to Train Your Dragon" for brass quintet since its used more as a bridge between two more energetic pieces; so this is not very accurate. The tuba part is difficult and should be treated more as a suggestion of which chords to outline with some noodling.
How to Train Your Dragons, Dragon Training Brass Quintet Sheet Music The Backpacking Trombonist 2015-06-21 | No. 4 in my series of the "How to Train Your Dragon" soundtrack for brass quintet. This one was extremely fun to write and is extremely fun to play. The trumpet parts are entirely possible for advanced players. If you're not at that level yet, STOP LOOKING AT YOUTUBE VIDEOS AND PRACTICE!!!!
How to Train Your Dragons, The Downed Dragon Brass Quintet Sheet Music The Backpacking Trombonist 2015-06-18 | No. 3 in my series of "How to Train Your Dragon" for brass quintet. This was extremely difficult to arrange and orchestrate due to the fact that it is such a string heavy piece but I think I did alright. The parts are also difficult to play, but they are playable. You just have to be a good player.
