- Theme music from the BBC's "The House of Eliott" (1991) composed by Jim Parker (one of my all time favourite film score composers) and arranged here for brass quintet by me.
I thoroughly enjoyed this TV show, and found both the story and the music inspiring! The plot follows two sisters in 1920s London. When their father dies suddenly, they're left without any education, and are forced to sell the family home to cover their father's debts. But they refuse to be cowed, and apply courage, entrepreneurship and a lot of hard work, to establish a dressmaking business, which they eventually build into their own haute couture fashion house. A consistent theme throughout the series is the struggle of women in the 1920s to live fulfilling and independent lives. The show has a wonderful soundtrack by Jim Parker which does a huge amount to establish the feel of the roaring 20s backdrop. This brass arrangement features the main theme, and several other recurring themes from the show.
Instrumentation: 2 Trumpets, Horn, Trombone and Tuba.
* In the video I play the Tuba part on my Flugelhorn dropped down two octaves in the software.

Good job Maeve!
Beautiful high notes at the end!
Brilliant with brilliance! 💯✨️👏👏👏👏
Where can I get these arrangements ?
Very nice!
Hey, hey, hey ... Maeve!! As always, great music!! Thank you for sharing!! Will take your tip about "The House of Elliott". Been looking for some new shows ... we've way overdosed on British, Australian, New Zealand, Canadian, and even US "cozy mystery" shows (you name it, we've seen it and probably more than once). And this Jim Parker music really is nice and neat ... more coming from the Marvelous Maeve, we hope!! [Greetings from Tucson] PS ... your visual background "syncing" is well-done!! Always first-class!
Haha, Excellent Maeve! Really like the piece. I actually performed this at a festival earlier in the year, just me on Eb horn (Imperial like yours) with a pianist and we played it pretty much straight from the book - you have put in a lot of extra work and made much more of it, you win! Well done.
Thanks Steve! Actually, I had to return the lovely old Imperial to the local brass band. 😭 This is the first recording that features a different Horn. It was mysteriously mailed to me from Germany, and is an antique Courtois. One of the first ever produced, if I'm reading the serial number right. It's nice to play and in remarkably good condition for it's age. But the sound is much more gentle, almost flugel-esk. Curious your thoughts?
Hi Maeve, crikey I didn't even notice, I was enjoying the arrangement too much! Honestly I can't tell if the new horn sounds any different in the mix. I think my Imperial has a gentle sound, not quite flugely but not harsh at all like a trumpet or trombone. And good enough for my level. So if the courtois is another step in that direction I think that's good. I also have an old Boosey & Co (1927) which has a very soft tone - but out of tune since converted to modern low pitch so not much use.
