Absolom Fili Mi

This arrangement of the popular work by Josquin des Prez for brass quartet requires the performers to play in a warm, melodic style. It is appropriate for beginning ensembles. The arrangement is for 2 trumpets and 2 trombones, but a part for horn in F is available as a substitute for the 1st trombone.
The translation of the original text is:
O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom!
would God I had died for thee,
O Absalom, my son, my son!
