i'm not sure if this should go here but in the lititure section there is a number of unreplied posts....anyway i've been looking for an online free version of this piece to download for my brass quintet, do any of you know where i could find it?

I don't know about free, but Canadian Brass has published the version they have recorded. 2 Bb Trumpets, Horn, Bone, Tuba. I didn't pay more than $15 for it at the time - but that was back in 1987!

Not free, but inexpensive... will cost about $5.00 US ($1 per part)

edit: Canadian Brass Book of Favorite Quintets has an fairly easy version... Your quintet should add this book to its repertoire... (Check to see if your Music Department/library has these books, otherwise they are about $8 US per book /$40 for the set, plus shipping... or here is a Canadian source at $11 CAD per book http://www.tapestrymusic.com/index.html?catalog3_2.html )

Here you go...

You'll need some notation software like Finale or Sibelius I think. The demo versions will let you view the score but not print it.

I think it should be legal since the music is more than 50 years old? Let's hope so.
