A bit like Concierto de Aranjuez but so much easier to say.

Marcello was dubbed "the Michelangelo of Music" and was more popular than Vivaldi until Nigel Kennedy and Classic FM came along.

It's easy to understand why when you listen to this graceful, bittersweet melody from his Trumpet Sonata.

Have a listen - it's not played by a real band but it still sounds ok!

Recordings
You can now listen to five of our arrangements, recorded during a splendid practice with the Band of the Gloucestershire Constabulary.

New music...
New arrangement "Mr Marcello's Adagio" available now!

What's cooking?
Not sure what will be next... so many ideas! Spanish music, Songs of the Crusades, The Planets and Bruckner in Paris all coming soon (ish).

The Big Shiny way of doing things

Big Shiny Brass is an online publisher of music for brass bands and smaller brass ensembles. We write imaginative music that is fun to play, exciting to hear, and just a little bit different.

Rather than sell printed music, we let you print it yourself. There are so many advantages to buying music this way. You get your music as soon as you want it. No more waiting around a week for a parcel to arrive. What if your trombone player keeps losing his part? No problem - just print another one.

Because the whole process is automated, it gives us more time to do what we do best - dream up new and exciting music for you to play. And our overheads our lower, so you can buy the music at bargainous prices.

If you have any questions about our music, our company or our way of doing things, get in touch with us right away. We'd love to hear from you.

Lots of love,
Everyone at Big Shiny Brass
