Hello everyone! This week I have compiled some videos ranging from transcriptions of Bach, arrangements from female voice to solo cornet, and a Tiny Desk Concert!
To start lets listen to Wachet Auf performed by member of the Concertgebouw brass section on February 15th 2026.
Podium Klassiek is a Dutch television program featuring diverse musical genres and performers to promote musical participation. The episode features the brass section members of the orchestra playing an arrangement of Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme. The orignal piece was composed by Bach as a cantata for the 27th Sunday after Trinity in 1731. The cantata was based on a hymn by Philipp Nicolai and set for four voices and baroque instruments.
Next I'd like to introduce some new scenery to the mix and watch a Tiny Desk Concert featuring the No BS! Brass band.
The band is comprised of 11 members each of which are conservatory trained musicians with various degrees. The group is based out of Richmond, Virginia with stylistic elements deriving from New Orleans.
The final listen for this post comes from the Royal Concertgebouw brass band playing in the 2012 European championship with Phillip Cobb soloing.
The piece Don't Doubt Him Now was written by Major Leonard Ballantine originally for four voices. in 1990 for The Musical Salvationist. This arrangement done by Steven Verhelst was featured among many other prominent brass ensemble pieces such as Tomasi Fanfares Liturgicals from my last post!
Hope to catch you with my next post!
