Italian National Anthem for Brass Quintet

The Italian National Anthem arranged for Brass Quintet.

"Il Canto degli Italiani" (Italian: [il ˈkanto deʎʎ(i) itaˈljaːni];^[1] transl. "The Song of the Italians") is a patriotic song written by Goffredo Mameli and set to music by Michele Novaro in 1847,^[2] currently used as the national anthem of Italy. It is best known among Italians as the "Inno di Mameli" (Italian: [ˈinno di maˈmɛːli]; transl. "Mameli's Hymn"), after the author of the lyrics, or "Fratelli d'Italia" (Italian: [fraˈtɛlli diˈtaːlja]; transl. "Brothers of Italy"), from its opening line. The piece, in 4/4 time signature and B-flat major key, has six strophes, and a refrain sung after each. The sixth group of verses, almost never performed, recalls the first strophe's text.

This arrangement is also available for String Orchestra and Recorder Consort; or almost any ensemble of your choice.
