I'm a software engineer by day, trumpeter by night! This channel is a place for me to indulge my brass addiction.
Not being a professional musician, it has been a great way to challenge myself musically. Making these videos encourages me to finish the arrangements I start, and it keeps me playing regularly, especially on secondary instruments like flugel and trombone. Music is such a central part of my life - I love being able to share and collaborate with others online who love brass music as much as I do.

The House of Eliott - Brass Quintet
Theme music from the BBC's "The House of Eliott" (1991) composed by Jim Parker (one of my all time favourite film score composers) and arranged here for brass quintet by me.
I thoroughly enjoyed this TV show, and found both the story and the music inspiring! The plot follows two sisters in 1920s London. When their father dies suddenly, they're left without any education, and are forced to sell the family home to cover their father's debts. But they refuse to be cowed, and apply courage, entrepreneurship and a lot of hard work, to establish a dressmaking business, which they eventually build into their own haute couture fashion house. A consistent theme throughout the series is the struggle of women in the 1920s to live fulfilling and independent lives. The show has a wonderful soundtrack by Jim Parker which does a huge amount to establish the feel of the roaring 20s backdrop. This brass arrangement features the main theme, and several other recurring themes from the show.
Instrumentation: 2 Trumpets, Horn, Trombone and Tuba.
* In the video I play the Tuba part on my Flugelhorn dropped down two octaves in the software.

Lullabye (Billy Joel) - Brass Quintet
Переглядів 1,2 тис.10 місяців тому
This is Billy Joel's "Lullabye (Goodnight My Angel)", arranged for brass by Bob Driggs. Bob sent me this score in July 2022, just a few days before my son was born, subtitled "for baby Maeve". I cannot describe the warmth and wonder that I felt in this musical gesture, there on the cusp of stepping into the great unknown of parenthood. Bob, I am ever-grateful for your musical collaboration and ...

We've Only Just Begun (Carpenters) - Brass Quintet

"We've Only Just Begun" by the Carpenters, arranged here for brass quintet. This song is on Rolling Stone Magazine's top 500 songs of all time list, and is one of the tunes I often get asked to arrange. I've intentionally kept my arrangement simple and true to the original, letting the beautiful melody shine. But there are some subtle musical motifs woven in, helping to make each part enjoyable...

Some of you may have guessed by now that I am a movie buff! The outfit gives it away of course... it's the theme from Back to the Future! The film score was composed by Alan Sylvestri who is one of my all time favourite film composers, and Bob Driggs has done an amazing job arranging this for brass quintet. I've heard many versions of this for small ensemble, but Bob's take is truely outstandin...
Meet the Flintstones - Brass Quintet

Catchy theme song of the 1960s animated television series The Flintstones. Composed by Hoyt Curtin. Thanks to Bob Driggs for this fantastic brass quintet arrangement. It's sizzling hot! Some very satisfying showy motifs, with nice solo sections, and a walking bass line that'll make your head spin with pleasure (if the carbon dioxide build up doesn't get you first!) ;-p Sheet music available at ...
1980 (Herb Alpert) - Brass Ensemble

This is my arrangement of "1980", for brass ensemble and percussion. Herb Alpert was commissioned by the NBC to write the theme for the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow but sadly it never made it to the air because the US boycotted. Too good to leave on the shelf, the theme made it back into action a few years later, used as the official theme song for NBC's telecast of the 1986 FIFA World Cup in...

The Look of Love - Brass Quintet

A smooth, creamy bossa nova, written by Burt Bacharach, made famous by singer Dusty Springfield. As regular listeners will know, I love playing this kind of mellow jazz. This chart is arranged by Bob Driggs, and flows beautifully - it practically plays itself! I'd definitely recommend grabbing a copy for your ensemble's library.

Fine play
Lovely sound
At 11 am 11 November 1918 the Great War ended. Let us all pause on this Anniversary Remembrance Day to think of those who suffered and died in War. The Recessional God of our fathers, known of old, Lord of our far-flung battle line, Beneath whose awful hand we hold Dominion over palm and pine - Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget-lest we forget! The tumult and the shouting dies; The Captains and the Kings depart: Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice, An humble and a contrite heart. Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget-lest we forget!
Beautiful playing and a nice arrangement. The link didn't seem to link to any music so do you know how the sheet music could be purchased?
I love it's
Your videos always brighten my day. I hope you will give a mellophone a try. You will find it to be a great experience. I played mellophone in the West Virginia University marching band.
This is such a beautiful arrangement and you play it so well! It doesn't seem like Bob's arrangements are available on musescore any more. Do you know if there's any other way to purchase them?
Bob's on a break from Musescore at the moment, but you can try to reach out via the DM function on his profile there.
@@maevelander1unfortunately it looks like he doesn't even have a profile on musescore any more.
I can't get the links for many of your Christmas arrangements to work and I can't find them on musecore. Does anyone know how to buy them?
AMAZING!!! Goodness this is very well done 🙌
Is this published anywhere else? Sheet Music Plus? J. W. Pepper?
Can I get this without joining Musescore?
Wow! Das ist Können!
I really like this one - I tried to get the score but it says it is not available in Germany - is there any other option? We would like to try it out 🙂
Brava!
Fantastic
Fantastic !
Flawless and wonderful performance!
Amazing cover ❤
👏👏👏👏👏
Glad to see you are back and in fine fettle as usual
I played this in my school brass band nearly thirty years ago. Thank you for helping me relieve the memory.
¡BRAVO! Llorando de alegría. Excelente. Gracias.
I am not crying, I am just flooding the White Witch's castle.
What I love about this song is it's the perfect prelude to the next track - I'd love to see you play Rise!!
snaps for you and your absurdist piece!
Unbelievable talent
The download file is no longer available on musicscore? Could you send it by email?
At the filming stage, do you just pretend to play in front of the camera while the audio you recorded previously played?
outstanding
I'll never forget this tune and what it means to me.
Ich finde es schade, dass der Link zu Musescore leider nicht funktioniert. Ich mag das Stück und hätte gerne einen Blick auf die Noten geworfen... Grüße
I love your videos! Great arrangements and performance ❤
Thank you very much!
What is an easy way to make these spl;it screen recordings/ iMovie? d.audio interface to add reverb?
I get asked this a lot so I made a tutorial. 🙂 ua-cam.com/video/ea_giAq4fb4/v-deo.htmlsi=81nxmdTnTeHlGnGX

Wow, just discovered you. I am an advanced (retired) trumpet player, and your music with all instruments - and Monica too - are AWESOME! Thanks for sharing your remarkable gifts with us.
Thanks @chasseualarc. It's been a fun way to keep my lip in on all the secondary instruments, and get into arranging. Thanks for listening.
Haha, Excellent Maeve! Really like the piece. I actually performed this at a festival earlier in the year, just me on Eb horn (Imperial like yours) with a pianist and we played it pretty much straight from the book - you have put in a lot of extra work and made much more of it, you win! Well done.
Thanks Steve! Actually, I had to return the lovely old Imperial to the local brass band. 😭 This is the first recording that features a different Horn. It was mysteriously mailed to me from Germany, and is an antique Courtois. One of the first ever produced, if I'm reading the serial number right. It's nice to play and in remarkably good condition for it's age. But the sound is much more gentle, almost flugel-esk. Curious your thoughts?
Hi Maeve, crikey I didn't even notice, I was enjoying the arrangement too much! Honestly I can't tell if the new horn sounds any different in the mix. I think my Imperial has a gentle sound, not quite flugely but not harsh at all like a trumpet or trombone. And good enough for my level. So if the courtois is another step in that direction I think that's good. I also have an old Boosey & Co (1927) which has a very soft tone - but out of tune since converted to modern low pitch so not much use.
it's a pitty that i can't put a rank in it, if there as stars, it would by 10/10
This cover was really beautiful ❤😊
awesome!!
Another great rendition. Thanks!!!
This was just plain fun to listen to. 😊 Repeat and hear it again! 🎉
Four years after recording this, I'll be bopping to this banger at my upcoming Music Tour to England 😁
Good job Maeve!
Excellent as always, you are a talented lady!
Hey, hey, hey ... Maeve!! As always, great music!! Thank you for sharing!! Will take your tip about "The House of Elliott". Been looking for some new shows ... we've way overdosed on British, Australian, New Zealand, Canadian, and even US "cozy mystery" shows (you name it, we've seen it and probably more than once). And this Jim Parker music really is nice and neat ... more coming from the Marvelous Maeve, we hope!! [Greetings from Tucson] PS ... your visual background "syncing" is well-done!! Always first-class!
Brilliant with brilliance! 💯✨️👏👏👏👏
Where can I get these arrangements ?
