Christmas Quintet Recommendations

Post by hyperbolica »

It's that time of year again.

Some of my favorite Christmas Quintet arrangements came from Wade Rackley (known to some as "The Elephant"). He has a couple dozen sacred and non-sacred tunes with playable yet different arrangements. Not sure how you get these. You might have to ask on the tuba forum.

What are your favorite Christmas quintet arrangements? (hint - prefer charts that can be bought in digital versions)

Gary Selecta’s arrangements for Wayne Bergeron’s After Hours Brass side are excellent:

Have you looked at Gerry Pagano’s Christmas quartets?

No, I hadn't seen those before. Thanks for pointing them out. I had asked about brass quintets, but I need bone quartets as well. I bought his 4 pack and got the bonus album download.

Oh, of course, Ken! You always sneak past my radar. Seriously, thanks for posting those. I hadn't seen Gerrys quartets before. Oh, and sounded great at the WOBR last night! especially the VWilliams!

Those sound like fun. Not sure they'd work for my group, but they sound fun. I'm glad people are making stuff like this available. I hope they're making a few bucks doing it.
