Ready to Roll (2001) - This is a crowd-pleasing jazzy funky show-stopper for brass quintet. It incorporates the harmonically engaging and rhythmically diverse modern elements of my classical music with the rock/jazz styles of my pop arrangements.

It is scored for 2 Trumpets, French Horn, Trombone and Tuba. Meditation for String Orchestra Fugue for String Orchestra Copyright Michael Palmieri. All Rights Reserved.
