hello friends of steemit today I will talk about what is a metal quintet: it is a small chamber music ensemble formed by 5 metal wind instruments. Normally it is conformed by 2 trumpets, a French horn, a trombone and a tuba. These quintets are of North American origin, during the decades of the 20th century.
they play works of different styles and times, they usually make arrangements of parts of orchestras, symphonic bands and even jazz bands, because in times before the XX century the metal quintet was not very popular as a musical group and that is why composers do not they made music for the quintets, it was long after the twentieth century that they began to compose for metal ensembles and other ensembles such as string and wood because the musicians were becoming more professional as an ensemble.
one of the most recognized quintets in the world are: Riudolc brass, Spanish brass, Gomala brass, Canadian brass, Munich brass, Bala brass, Granada brass quintet, lavillo larense brass among many others.
