SKU: A0.1074203
By Robert Whitehead. Composed by Traditional. Arranged by Robert Whitehead. This edition: pdf. Children, Classical, Folk, Traditional. Score and parts. 14 pages. Gazebo Music #678487. Published by Gazebo Music (A0.1074203).This brass quintet arrangement of Turkey in the Straw is all about fun, energy, and full-ensemble participation. The familiar fiddle tune is turned into a lively, tongue-in-cheek brass showpiece where everyone gets a chance to join the action, not just the lead trumpet.
The melody bounces through the entire quintet, with playful call-and-response, clever handoffs, and humorous interjections that keep the texture constantly changing. The horn and trombone add character and punch in the middle voices, while the tuba gets an active, musical role that drives the groove and adds personality rather than just underpinning the harmony.
The writing is tight, idiomatic, and rhythmically engaging without being overcomplicated, making it accessible to strong high school groups while still being satisfying for collegiate and professional players. It works perfectly as an encore, lighthearted concert feature, or audience-friendly change of pace.
Fast, cheeky, and packed with ensemble interaction — this is Turkey in the Straw as a brass quintet crowd-pleaser where nobody sits on the sidelines.
