Originally published in 1884 for band, D.H. Stubblebine's "Refuge" Serenade is a light, pleasant waltz.
Presented here for Brass quintet, the 1st trumpet part doesn’t maneuver any higher than a written 1st ledger line “A” and without any range or technical challenges this should be a piece well accessible to younger players.
A performance option: to obtain a more rounded “period” sound, it is recommended to use conical brass instruments throughout the ensemble where the trumpet parts are played on cornets and a euphonium is used instead of the trombone.
This waltz will make a fine addition to a brass quintet’s book.
