Chamber Music Suite

Oscar Fuchs was born Oskar von Diebitsch in Altona, a suburb of Hamburg, Germany, where he studied music and was trained as a classical musician. His Chamber Music SuiteGondoliera, (Gondola Song), Abendlied (Evening Song) and Scherzo--- was originally published and known in Germany as Drei Salonstucke (Three Chamberworks), which indicated that they were of a lighter nature. Composed in 1888 and published the next year, these charming pieces make fine encores separately or a nice lighter work when played together. This arrangement for Brass Sextet is accessible for advancing musicians (high school or adult) and suitable for concerts, recitals and other special occasions. It is scored for Bb Trumpet 1 & 2, F Horn, Trombone, Euphonium and Tuba. Additional/Optional parts are available for C Trumpet 1 & 2; Eb Horn, Treble Clef Trombone and Euphonium; Eb Tuba-Treble Clef. Performers and listeners alike will enjoy Fuchs' Chamber Music Suite.
