Bruckner / Buerkle - Virga Jesse Floruit (SOMusic)

This arrangement by Brian Buerkle was written for the CCM Brass Choir in Cincinnati, OH. Scored for antiphonal choirs, this sacred motet is a beautiful piece which explores the soft, lyrical qualities of brass playing as well as the powerful rich tone of a full brass choir. This arrangement for double brass quintet sounds fantastic in the concert hall or in a church setting. In performance, the instruments should be arranged into two Choirs A & B with the Tuba in the center. The optimal antiphonal sound will be achieved with this setup. Approximately 4:00.
