Recordings of the works in today's concert
NOT UPDATED FOR THIS CONCERT

Andrea Gabrieli (1533–1585)
from Libro primo de Madrigali a 3 voce (1575)
        First book of Madrigals for 3 voices
A Caso un Giorno mi guidó la sorte    By chance, fate guided me    [2:00]

There are two renditions of this piece on YouTube. The first uses electronic sounds for trombones, the other is a choir who don't give much oomph!

For a flavour of Gabrieli's handling of brass instruments, here instead is Ricercar del Duodecimo Tuono - Ricercar of the Twelfth Tone. Ricercar? It's a mostly Italian form that explores fugues and counterpoint. 

These unnamed brass players are performing in the Steigerwald Cathedral in Gerölzhofen, Southern Germany, at a special service marking the 400th anniversary of Julius Echter, Prince-Bishop of Würzburg: 

Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809)
Trio in A major, Hob.XI:5 (1765/6)    [6:30]
    1 Moderato (A major)
    2 Minuet (A major) - Trio (D major)

The performers here are the Esterhazy Ensemble. There seem to be no performances on YouTube which show the players:

Oskar Böhme (1870-1938)
Prelude and Fugue in Eb Major Op 28 No 2 (1904) [4:15]
    Andante con moto
    Allegro moderato

The Birdwood Brass Trio perform on this recording, but Doug Wilson, trumpet, Bradley Tatum, horn, and James Martin, trombone remain unseen as we follow the musical score:

Horn Solo:
Bernhard Krol (1920-2013)
Laudatio (1966)    [4:30]

The soloist offering his audience an encore here is the Czech conductor and horn player Radek Baborak. Which orchestra is sitting behind him is not indicated.

Florence Beatrice Price (1887-1953)
from The Organ Portfolio vol 15/86 (1951)
arr for brass quartet Dr Jasmine "Jazzie" Pigott (b1997)
Adoration    [3:25]

There are several recordings of this piece for different instruments. The historic nature of this performance drew us to it. The Nova Orchester, under William Garfield Walker, are performing a work by Florence Price for the first time in Vienna, by any orchestra. The accompanying video switches bewtween the orchestra and scenes of Vienna and Austria, building on Price's theme of Adoration.

If you enjoy Florence Price's style, there will be a bonus piece at the end of these recordings.

Olof Wilhelm Peterson Berger (1867-1942)
arr Ashley Harper (b1992)
from 8 Sånger, Op 11    8 Songs    [18:00]

1 Stemming    Mood
2 I Fyrreskoven    In the pine forest
3 Ved Havet    By the sea
4 På Fjeldesti    On a mountain trail
6 Killebukken    Kid and Lamb
7 Lokkeleg    Beauty
8 “Dans!” ropte Felen    “Dance!” cried the fiddle
