The Goldberg Variations is arguably one of the greatest works of art in Western culture. A true work of genius that was first published in 1741 for harpsichord.

Aria, a Sarabande about 5 minutes in length in 3/4 is the very first movement of the 30 variation work and is heavily ornamented. Justin Chiang has doubled the time to 6/4 and written out all of the ornaments, making the performance possibilities much more practical for most brass quintet performers.

This work is appropriate for advanced performers for the following instruments:

2 Trumpets in C, Horn in F, Trombone and Tuba (Bass Trombone).
