What do you get when you combine the beautiful music of Giacomo Puccini’s La Boheme and the arranging powers of brass superstar/former member of the Canadian Brass Josef Burgstaller? You get this amazing rendition of Che Gelida Manina for brass quintet!

This music sounds so good as a piece for brass quintet that you might be able to trick audiences that Puccini originally wrote it for the ensemble. The melodies interchange seamlessly between instruments, recreating the colour palette of a full opera orchestra.

Samples of the score are available to the left, and you can click above for an immediate PDF download of the score and parts. The PDF file has been formatted for easy double sided printing – just download and hit print.
