Originally published in 1884 as a Dirge for band, D.H. Stubblebine's "In Memory of the Past" is a stately, solemn, yet majestic piece.
Presented here for Brass quintet, the 1st trumpet part spends a short amount of time around written B flats and C's. but lower octave cue notes are also offered which should make this piece 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 will make a fine addition to a brass quintet’s book for a religious or martial-sounding piece.
