New Brass Quintet in Romantic style

Post by PaulMcGraw »

I am a hobbyist composer and former life-long trombone player. At 66, due to lung problems, I cannot play any longer. I started composing about two years ago. I have written several pieces of which two are Brass Quintets in a romantic style. I am thinking of writing more for brass, perhaps a brass septet.

Am I good enough as a composer to keep trying, or should I just hang it up? Do you like this quintet, hate it, just bleh?

Anyway, here is a link to a sound file. Below will be a link to the sheet music/

The sheet music is available free from the IMSLP website. Here is a link to my composer page. Just select the Brass Quintet in F minor for that sheet music.

Code: Select all

Very nice! Nice to listen to, and it seems like it would be nice to play as well.

Keep writing stuff. Doing original tunes is the hardest. I find it hard to get past arrangements.
