We have the budget this year to bring in a strong brass quintet for Pentecost, and I’m looking for recommendations for great arrangements.
Instrumentation will be trumpet 1, trumpet 2, horn, trombone, and tuba, with pipe organ and timpani also available. Ideally, I’m looking for arrangements that: allow space for the choir to have some moments, support strong congregational singing throughout, and go beyond simply doubling the hymn parts.
If you have links to favourite arrangements in this style, I’d really appreciate you sharing them. They don’t need to be Pentecost-specific—excellent communion hymn settings or other versatile options would be just as useful.
For context, I already have the mass parts covered.
