We have two trumpets, a trombone, and a tuba at my church. We have done Christmas carols at Christmas Eve services but we would like to expand our horizons. Looking for quartets with that instrumentation. We are all amateurs so nothing too challenging. Any suggestions?

Find the Mel Bay "Great Hymns for Brass". Scored for 2 trumpets and 2 bass clef instruments. Book contains all parts, so get one book for each.

Some of the Robert King transcriptions work nicely. Can't remember any particular favorites.

Sorry, but I don't have access to my Brass Quartet collection, but I had a lot of neat stuff.

Have that book someplace, pretty good as I recall. Didn’t work too good for my family group though, I could do trumpet or bass clef parts, but daughter was on French horn and son was TC baritone. Had to use non family members to fill the ranks. Did the old transpose parts onto staff paper once, that was once enough doing that.

Daughter's one band director gave her some old brass choir music, we have pulled that out more than once. Scored for 2 trumpets, baritone TC, trombone/baritone BC, tuba, and French horn.

More recently our current church drummer is a tuba pro and band director. He has been gracious enough to do some arrangements for us .

Thanks! Great start for my search.
