Tollite Hostias by Camille Saint-Saëns, from the Christmas Oratorio, Op. 12, is presented here in an arrangement for brass quintet.
This choral piece, both solemn, luminous and majestic, lends itself particularly well to a brass arrangement, allowing the instruments to highlight the richness, power and expressive character of the original music.
This Tollite Hostias brass quintet arrangement brings the grandeur of Saint-Saëns’ Christmas repertoire to a compact chamber ensemble.
An arrangement particularly suited to Christmas concerts, ceremonies and classical music programmes, as well as to the chamber music repertoire for brass.
