A year ago I have already commented on the fine intonation this group did on this difficult Bänkelsänger. However, as a little „update“ on my previous comment: I‘ve seen like 100+ versions from a variety of brass bands - this is definitely by far the best version on youtube. I wonder, if this wonderful combo still plays?

What a great intonation of this wonderful tune. It‘s for sure not easy to play this in that high quality. Thank you for sharing this nice version and best regards from Munich.

Daniel Speer in 1684 has now been attributed as the composer! Reference: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Speer
This seventeenth-century work remained anonymous for quite a long time, though it has recently been attributed to the German composer and theorist Daniel Speer, a church musician and teacher known for religious music and quodlibets, as well as for treatises, novels, and political commentary. This sonata, commonly referred to simply as “Die Bänkelsängerlieder” after the collection in which it was found, is now his most famous work. It was originally discovered in 1880 among a collection of dances and instrumental works that included parts not only for five wind instruments, but also one for a singer; the vocal part was filled with ribald jokes and poems. This makes sense; the term “Bänkelsänger” means “bench singer” and refers to the traveling musicians who performed in local taverns, standing on benches and singing off-color songs. This sonata was the twenty-ninth of forty-one pieces printed in this collection; the label “sonata” in this case simply means a work for musical instruments, drawn from the Italian term “sonare”-“to sound.” It wasn’t until the Classical era, in the late eighteenth century, that our modern, more formally constrained version of the sonata crystallized. This early sonata was originally scored for trumpet, cornetto, three trombones, and an accompanying keyboard instrument. It is now most commonly performed as a work for brass quintet.

Catchy tune. You'd think by now somebody would figure out who this was writ by.

What wonderful music - what wonderful music-making.

Try this at home.
Then try again and again .
This is why brass players do it better.
