REPERTOIRE

... a selection of our music

As can be seen from our list of repertoire below, The Coupland Brass Quintet has a wide range of repertoire available (and this is not an exhaustive list). We enjoy playing everything from early music (such as the Scheidt, Farnaby and Dufay), to modern compositions for quintet (for example, Plog Four Sketches, Bourgeois Sonata and Lutoslawski Mini Overture), right the way up to fun arrangements (like The Quintessential Gershwin and West Side Story).

As a quintet, we are always on the look out for pieces to add to our repertoire, be it established works we haven't yet discovered, new arrangements of classic or popular items, or, indeed, new compositions for brass quintet; so this page is liable to keep on changing - we'll keep on adding samples as and when we can.
