FOR LOW BRASS QUARTET (2 Euphoniums and 2 Tubas)

by Arcangello Corelli
arranged by Gary Bricault

Written for two euphoniums and two tubas. The work is fascinating for its remarkable thematic similarity to the opening of Handel's "Hallelujah" chorus from Messiah. Given Handel's reputation for recycling his own as well as other composers' material at whim, arguably the theme could have originated with Corelli. This arrangement is by Gary Bricault.
