Mentre Qual Viva Pietra: Brass Quintet Score & Parts

Luca Marenzio was best known for his writing of madrigals and this is a fine example of Marenzio's choral writing. This transcription for brass quintet places relatively few technical demands on the players, so it is a fine opportunity for younger musicians to develop the techniques of expressive playing. It is scored for 2 trumpets, horn, trombone 1 (alternate horn 2) and trombone 2. The part for trombone 2 is also suitable for baritone.
