Franz Schubert – Valses nobles op. 77, D969

Arranged for Brass Quintet by Ivaylo Hristov.

Originally for piano, this collection of 12 waltzes was written for Viennese ballrooms a few months before the composer passed away. It is their lilting and distinctive Viennese rhythm, rubato, balanced phrases, straightforward form, gliding middle voices, melodic suspensions, and unexpected harmonic subtleties that attract the listener.

    Johann Strauß Sohn – Entr'act and Melodram from Die Fledermaus

    Arranged for Brass Quintet by Ivaylo Hristov.

    Name it The Little Fledermaus but it has its own micro overture – the Entr'act (No. 12) to the Third act, and a quick but full run-down the themes from the opereta – the Melodram (No. 13). This hangover scene is so charming! It is musically and thematically completed, and fits perfectly well to the brass instruments' abilities.

    Paul Dukas – Fanfare preceding La Péri

    Arranged for Brass Quintet by Ivaylo Hristov.

    Trumpet parts in B are available on demand.

    Composed in 1912 to precede the ballet La Péri and originally written for the entire brass section of the symphony orchestra, these brilliant Fanfares are performed independently on stage as arranged for brass quintet. Paul Dukas cleverly manages the sonority of brass instruments and their ability to sound pompous but also lyrical, convincingly delivering both rich harmonies and a complex polyphonic texture.

    Claude Debussy – La plus que lente – The More Than Slow – Waltz (1910-1912)

    Arranged for Brass Quintet by Ivaylo Hristov.

    La plus que lente or The More Than Slow is a work in the manner of English waltz, which gain popularity at the beguinning of the XXth century in the so called five-o'clock-tea-parties in Parisian salons and cafes. The title refers not so much to the tempo of the waltz as to the time it took to create it—the piece is a production of an entire summer, says Ms. Debussy. Two years later, presenting the orchestration of the waltz to his publisher Jacques Durand, the composer writes: But let's not limit ourselves to beer parlors. Let's think of the numberless five-o'clock teas where assemble the beautiful audiences I've dreamed of.

    The miller's wife dances the Fandango and pretends to be so absorbed in her dance as not to notice the return of the Corregidor, who betrays his admiration of the dancer. Her joyful Fandango closes the first act of the ballet El sombrero de tres picos (1919), from Manuel de Falla.

    Before crossing the bridge, the Corregidor indulges in the mannerisms of Don Juan. The old dandy advances with the air of a seducer, contemplates the window of his beloved, and sighs and smiles at the thought of his approaching bliss. He draws a little mirror from his pocket and tries to look at himself and arrange his neckcloth by the moonlight. At last he decides to cross the bridge, but suddnely the moon is hidden by a passing cloud...

General dance, during which the old coxcomb is identified, and the miller and his wife are reconciled. The Corregidor, scoffed at by the crowd, has received so many cuffs that he lets himslef drop to the ground completely confounded.

    Arranged for Brass Quintet by Ivaylo Hristov.

    Moderato, Andante, Lento, Allegro vivace

    The Dialogues were published in 1927 as Volume I of the collection Nine Little Pieces for Piano, Sz. 82, BB 90. In strict counterpoint, they recall the J. S. Bach’s Inventions, but actually sound quite modern given the melodic, rhythmic, and harmonic variety of Bartok’s themes. Although only seven minutes long, this short suite of polyphonic miniatures captivates the listener with the freshness of the conversations among all musicians in the quintet.

In his Petite Suite, Bartók has selected and innovatively treated melodies from the lands where his childhood was spent.
