Brass Quintet

House of the Rising Sun
traditional
arr. Zack Smith
Price: $15

Transposed parts can be ordered.


This is a cool trumpet 1 feature of the traditional blues number (made very popular by The Animals in 1964).  An optional drum part is included, though the quintet works great without the set.  After a short intro, trumpet plays melody, then takes it up an octave the second time through.  Trombone gets a solo on the third verse, then there is a "traditional" Zack reharmonization.  Piece ends with a written cadenza for trumpet 1, though they are welcome to come up with their own.
Difficulty is medium.  Trumpet 1 needs a strong written B, and trombone needs a solid written A.  Perfect to slip into your New Orleans concert set or as a background number at a cocktail party!

Listen to a synthesized version.
      or listen with your own player
