Notes

Today's Brass Quintet has been entertaining audiences all over Michigan since 1983. Concerts feature music spanning five centuries and include styles from baroque and renaissance to jazz, ragtime, Christmas, and modern composers to please every listener. Interesting commentary by the players on the background of the music make for an enjoyable, relaxed concert experience.

"A Baroque and Renaissance Festival" is a collection of original arrangements of classics by composers including Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frederich Handel, Antonio Vivaldi, John Dowland, Thomas Morley, and others. There are sprightly voluntaries by Henry Purcell and Jeremiah Clarke, beautiful melodies like Bach's "Sheep May Safely Graze" and "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring," dance music from the renaissance by Morley and madrigals from that period by Wilbye and Kirby.

The Journal of the International Trumpet Guild said: "Marked by an impressive cohesiveness, the sound of Today's Brass Quintet elicits a favorable comparison to that of the Philadelphia Brass Ensemble ... both dazzle the listener ... both stand as textbook examples of balance and blend."
