Special Requests for Custom Arrangements
We welcome the opportunity to provide you with a custom arrangement:
- of (almost) any music in the public domain
- of copyrighted works in which we can obtain permission to arrange
- for any combination of brass instruments
- for different levels of playing difficulty, including
- simplified rhythms
- change of key signature
- reduced instrument range
In some cases, an effective arrangement may not be possible and we evaluate each request for adaptability.
The following are some examples of music that could be arranged/transcribed for brass ensemble:
- Keyboard music
- Vocal music
- Orchestral music
- Hymns
- Folk songs
- Almost anything
We do not infringe on the copyright of others. If the work is modern, it is copyrighted and we have to receive permission from the copyright holder. Some examples include:
- Pop music
- Movie music
- Television music
- Modern classical or jazz (published after 1923)
- Computer game music
- Modern Theater or Dramatic music
Communicating with large publishing firms usually takes several weeks, sometimes months; and permission/license to arrange is never guaranteed. License fees also differ from publisher to publisher, and are beyond our control.
In general, we will treat your project as a "NOT-for-hire" commissioned work, and you will pay a flat fee for the complete score and parts. In addition, you may be asked to pay a small portion of the licensing fee, if applicable.
