Suite for Brass Quintet from West Side Story

YES!!! The classic, masterful arrangement by Jack Gale is back in print and legally available again, but in a beautifully clean, modern computer engraved authoritative edition.

Discrepancies between the score and parts have been meticulously researched and corrected. Issues in the parts such as incorrect notes, illegibility, crowded spacing, difficult page turns, missing measures, inconsistencies in articulation/dynamics/rehearsal marks, lack of bar numbers, missing dynamics, instrument change notifications and much more have been addressed. Other improvements include simplified roadmaps by writing out all D.S.’s and Codas, table of contents on the first page of part, additional cues in parts and eliminating page turns for every original movement in every part. All told, over 500 changes are included in this newly updated edition.

A challenging arrangement for mature quintets, the 8 original movements as recorded by the Empire Brass Quintet.

1. Prologue
2. Something’s Coming
3. Maria
4. Tonight
