  Big Shiny Brass has released its latest fantastic quintet music

Ahead of the last regional contests of the year this weekend, Big Shiny Brass has announced the latest addition to their huge range of music for smaller ensembles.

Name suggests

As the name suggests 'Quintacular' is for brass quintet and is a collection of ten spectacular pieces to start or end your gigs with a bang — including ceremonial and processional music from the Baroque right through to some fantastic modern pieces.

As with all of Big Shiny Brass's music, it's a print-it-yourself PDF download, and comes with lots of different transpositions, encompassing both brass band and orchestral brass instruments.
