We've Only Just Begun (Carpenters) - Brass Quintet

"We've Only Just Begun" by the Carpenters, arranged here for brass quintet. This song is on Rolling Stone Magazine's top 500 songs of all time list, and is one of the tunes I often get asked to arrange. I've intentionally kept my arrangement simple and true to the original, letting the beautiful melody shine. But there are some subtle musical motifs woven in, helping to make each part enjoyable to play in their own right. Enjoy!
Sheet music: musescore.com/user/30471854/s...
Instrumentation: trumpet, flugel, horn, trombone and tuba.
*In the video I play the tuba part on my flugel down two octaves.

Great job! Is that tuba sound the flugel pitched down an octave? It works remarkably well!
