Suite Gothique for Brass Quintet and Organ (Boellman/arr. Marlatt)

MEDIUM DIFFICULT LEVEL

Léon Boellman (1862-1897) went to study composition and the organ in Paris at a very young age. He was a student of Eugene Gigout, another great French organist. He wrote several large scale works for orchestra, but was best known for this Suite Gothique. There are four movements in this suite: Introduction, Minuet gothique, Priere a Notre-Dame and Toccata. Each is distinctive and colourful. The sound of the organ chords with various combinations of brass voices makes this truly exciting. Includes a score with organ and parts for 2 Bb trumpets, horn, trombone and tuba.
