Canadian Brass 'Quintet' by Michael Kamen (HD Version)

Critical comment affirms that Michael Kamen's "Quintet" is valued as the most important new work for Brass Quintet in the last 40 years, having become a "standard" work for Brass worldwide.

Classically trained Juilliard graduate Michael Kamen, of "Robin Hood" and "Mr. Holland's Opus" fame, composed this piece for Canadian Brass.

Canadian Brass would like to thank FACTOR (The Foundation Assisting Canadian Talent On Recordings) for their assistance on this album.

I would love to be walking through some natural habitat and just find the Canadian brass playing. That would be great.

Some people don't realize the dedication it takes to play this well... It is literally a lifelong devotion and dedication. This isn't just some side-hobby for them, it is literally their life.

I get a little depressed to know that even though I am a pretty talented player, I can never get as good as any professional because I chose a different path for my life.

Thank you for this, CB...

not only do they have superb playing ability but apparently they can teleport all over the place while they play. truly magical!

Played this with my quintet during my senior year of high school as the closer to our last concert. As a French Horn player, I couldn't have asked for any better last piece--any better last note--to play in high school. Now in college as a non-music major, although I still am in music groups, I'm still wishing I could have more moments like this.

3:11 gave me goosebumps. Which is why I love French Horn.

[henniebogan]

One of the most beautiful pieces of music I've heard heard!!!😊

[GreenEggSam]

why do they look like the backstreet boys retired and made a brass quintet

[liamedmonds]

Best full, warm sound in brass I've heard ever! So amazing!!

[darthwolf.]

This is so so so so beautiful. I play the trombone

[rawlinsonboy]

that's the best sound in existence, don't give me all of this Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus nonsense, this, my friends, is real music!

Helleberg is one of the standard mouthpieces for Tuba. Many of todays most popular tuba mouthpieces are modified from the Helleberg mouthpiece. Mike

Great piece by Michael. Kamen was a pupil of mine from the time he was 15. A very special talent . Sad that he passed so young. I love the CB.

[Saxologic]

This is amazing.. I wanna see something like this done with extremely professional (like these guys) saxophonists.

[terryobrien]

Holy crap!!

Tyrion Lannister plays a damn fine trumpet!!!

[Zuki-Bee]

for me I feel goosebumps when ever you here the low brass play the chords. and especially the french horn, god I wish i could be in a group like this.

[CanadianBrass]

You can definitely order a standard quintet version in their store under Canadian Brass Ensembles, Contemporary Single Quintet titles

[cheetahsong]

I'm in love with the Canadian Brass.
and this piece as well.

[joshjanes]

it depends on which sound you want. If you want a bright sounding sound get a shallow mouth piece, for darker get the opposite.

The beautiful Elora Quarry, to think I use to jump off those cliffs as a youngster. Playing my trombone much safer! Great video.

Chuck always plays his Arnold Jacobs Heritage model but I'm not sure what Gene was playing for this recording.
