Product Description
From the Music of Black Composers Series at Charles Decker Music Press is William Dawson's energetic choral setting of the popular spiritual Ain'a That Good News so familiar to audiences now arranged for a brass quintet of two trumpets in B-flat, horn with alternate flugelhorn part, trombone/euphonium and tuba. The spirited arrangement is guaranteed for enthusiastic audience response.
The Music of Black Composers Series is a welcome and timely addition to the brass repertoire. Interesting music, expertly arranged, fun to perform, and well received by audiences. These pieces are now permanently in my quintet book and I will be using them with my student groups as well. Highly recommended! Wesley Nance, Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, Eastman School of Music
I was so pleased to see the great works arranged for brass ensemble by Charles Decker Music Press especially the Music of Black Composers Series. It was especially rewarding to perform several of these with Summit Brass and with the students attending the Rafael Mendez Brass institute. Please keep these wonderful settings coming. You have provided the brass world with some real gems. Joseph Parisi, Director Summit Brass, Fountain City Brass Band, University of Missouri Kansas City Conservatory Wind Ensemble
