The "Mixed Ensemble" pieces below are arrangements for flute and cello which I wrote for my daughter's wedding. Where practical, some of these have been adapted for trumpet and trombone.
The works for brass and piano or organ are written to accompany congregational singing. Most of the arrangements are for 2 trumpets, 2 trombones and keyboard, with optional parts for horn (1st trombone), tuba and timpani.
