Greetings,
   In a previous posting I asked if any Brass Quintet arrangements were
available on-line and got a response from Ted Zateslo that there were a few
at the ftp site:
		     ftp://geomag.gly.fsu.edu
Thanks, Ted!   I was able to download and print some of these and encourage
others
to try. What a great way to share music. Here is a brief description of what
I found there.

*  Old Dog Tray (March) - Stephen Foster  (actually 9 brass + percussion but
works
							       with quintet
if you choose parts carefully)
*  Sunny Hours (Waltz) - J. Schatzman     (     same  )
*  The Soldier's March - Igor Stravinsky      ( This is a quintet )
 
All you need to do is download and print these. They are beautifully done. If
you do not
have a postscript printer you will need to also download a program called
Ghostscript
to convert these to print on your non-postscript printer.
 
Does anyone know if there are other sites with brass arrangements?  Besides
print-ready files, I could also use files in MIDI format because I can use a
music program to convert and print those. I know there are lots of sites with
MIDI files but they do not list them by instrumentation so weeding through
thousands to find brass quintets if very difficult. I believe that the music
program I use (Encore) can convert MIDI to postscript and if I am successful
at that I could send some in exchange (or post them to this FTP site?).
