Arrangements for Woodwinds/Brasses

Ricercar del Sesto Tuono
By Andrea Gabrieli
Transcribed by Dale Elmshaeuser

This ricercar from the Arrangements for Woodwinds series is in imitative, polyphonic style, and has been included in professional recordings for brasses, for strings, and for woodwinds. Issued here as a woodwind arrangement, the set includes parts for I Trombone and for Tuba, plus the F Horn part found in all our woodwind quartet arrangements, making it available to brass ensembles or mixed ensembles.

This transcription can be played by as few as four instruments. Parts are included for Flute, Oboe, Bassoon, I-III Clarinets, Bass Clarinet, I & II Alto Saxes, Tenor Sax, Baritone Sax, and F Horn, plus extra parts for I Trombone and Tuba, so that quartets can be formed in different ways, or various doublings may be made for larger ensembles. The difficulty level is 3.

Full set includes a Conductor/Keyboard Score, transposed parts for individual instruments, background notes, and suggestions for rehearsal and performance.
