Heroic Music - A Suite of Twelve Marches (Complete) - Georg Philipp Telemann - Brass Quintet - Intermediate - Digital Download.

Heroic Music (or Heldenmusik) is a suite of twelve short marches and processionals, written by Georg Philipp Telemann in 1728, and is associated with various attributes of Heroism such as "Dignity", "Bravery" and "Alertness". All twelve movements have now been transcribed and arranged by Regis Bookshar to be played by Trumpet Quintets or Brass Quintets. Some of them have also been arranged for Sextets, Septets, Octets, Nonets and Brass Choirs. Some also include a Timpani. They can be purchased individually, or, if you prefer, as a complete set of all twelve at a huge saving.
Any of these selections would be a wonderful addition to any music library but this complete set would be fabulous. They are perfectly suited to recitals and public performances, can stand alone as short interludes and are generally well received by audiences. They are suitable for high school and college students but professional musicians would also enjoy playing these arrangements. These selections are some of the many arrangements from The Regis Bookshar Trumpet Ensemble's extensive music library which are being made available for the first time. In the past, these compositions have often been performed by a soloist playing on a Piccolo Trumpet, but these new arrangements are "Bb Trumpet friendly" as one player stated after reading through them, making them much easier for most high school students.
This selection, Heroic Music - A Suite of Twelve Marches (Complete), contains all twelve movements. They are as follows: No. 1. La Majeste (associated with "Dignity"); No. 2. La Grace (associated with "Grace"); No. 3. La Vaillance (associated with "Bravery"); No. 4. La Tranquillite (associated with "Composure"); No. 5. L'Armement (associated with "Rearmament"); No. 6. L'Amour (associated with "Love"); No. 7. La Vigilance (associated with "Alertness"); No. 8. La Gaillardise (associated with "Abandon"); No. 9. La Douceur (associated with "Gentleness"); No. 10. La Generosite (associated with "Magnanimity"); No. 11. L'Esperance (associated with "Hope"); and No. 12. La Rejouissance (assocated with "Joy"). These selections are arranged for a Brass Quintet, consisting of 2 Bb Trumpets, 1 French Horn, 1 Trombone and 1 Tuba. There is also a version that has a Timpani on some movements, if you prefer. To hear samples of these selections you will need to search for each movement individually. I was not able to download such a large mp3 file. Included are scores and a complete set of parts (109 pages).
These selections are readily available for a wide variety of instrumental ensembles. Please take the time to look for other versions of these compositions. You may find something else that may also suit your needs. I would also encourage you to search for other arrangements by Regis Bookshar, as well, as there a numerous selections in a variety of styles, also available for purchase. You may find something else which might interest you. Please continue to check periodically because new arrangements are being added as often as possible. I am certain that these wonderful arrangements of Georg Philipp Telemann's Heroic Music will continue to entertain both performers and audiences alike for years to come.
