Brass Quintet

The Beautiful Ones
by Prince
arr. Zack Smith
Price: $15

Transposed parts can be ordered.


This brass quintet is a very classical take on one of Prince's more underrated hits.  Zack wrote this as a French horn feature (who else would you feature on a Prince ballad?), though trumpet 1 and tuba also get some solo space as well.  Like the original, the piece starts sparsely and builds to an exciting climax.  Rated advanced because it really requires an excellent horn player.
