Publisher Desc.  At a slow tempo and in the key of C minor, Lamenta for brass quintet is designed to represent the act of expressing grief. The trumpet 1 part leads with the melody and grows to an intense wailing before ending softly and alone. Pacing, dynamic control, and ensemble unity are essential to performing this work well. See also Lamenta for piano; and Quintet; Quintet No. 2; Quintet No. 3 for brass quintet by Scott Ostrander/Ostrander Music. For 2 C trumpets, F horn, trombone, and tuba. Duration: Approx. 2 minutes
