jmc's classics
The Canadian Brass is a famous Canadian Brass Band. They are a quintet featuring two trumpets and one each trombone, tuba and French Horn. They have made Christmas albums. Some of their albums are of classical music or classical transactions. One of the first CDs that I purchased was of them playing Baroque music.in March of 1994 when I started listening to classical music. It features Handel's Water Music, Pachelbel's Canon and some of Bach's music including Sheep May Safely Graze. A year and a half later I purchased the Canadian Brass playing Vivaldi's Four Seasons. The Four seasons is one of the most famous pieces of Classical music. It is a series of violin concertos. Vivaldi wrote many concertos. He wrote concertos for the Violin, Cello, Oboe etc. they have also made an album of Mozart's music which I don't have or have heard.
Some of the members of the Canadian Brass are actually American. They are based on Toronto Canada for more information check out their web page canadianbrass.com. The current members are Caleb Hudson and Chris Coletti trumpet, Jeff Nelson French Horn, Achiles Liarmakopoulos trombone and Charles Daellenbach tuba. Daellenbach is the only one of the original members still a member of the quintet. They have played Christmas music and have made Christmas albums. They have made several Jazz albums and an album of Renaissance music which I have not heard. I am not much in to the Pre- Baroque or Renaissance music. They are still active today. Classical music as we can see can easily be transcribe for many other forms of instruments or genres
