Revisiting “Taps” for Brass Quintet | UncleRed99

Featured Replies

I think I posted this one in the past, however, whether I did or not doesn’t matter… lol

I wrote this arrangement something like 2 years ago. At that time, after having decided to revisit it, I believe I wasn’t all that great with harmonies. I’ve decided to re-voice the chords in this score, and have utilized some of my new playback sounds to create a much better listening experience with this one. Let me know what yall think. I believe I’ve been able to embody the patriotism, and somber nature of what the bugle call Taps was written for.

Hello @UncleRed99

The slow, rich underlaying brass lines provide rich harmonic counterpoint to the trumpet tap part. It so somber, yet so bittersweet. I can imagine this being played when they lower solider down in his grave. So sad but needed at the correct moment. Sometimes, music is there to remind that death is always tragic, but it brings a peaceful closure to one's man heroic journey.
