Jean Sibelius’s Chorale from Finlandia is presented here in a clear, lyric brass quintet setting that emphasizes blend, balance, and expressive phrasing.

Widely known as the hymn “Be Still, My Soul”, it is ideal for:

• reflective programming

• memorial services 

• solemn patriotic moments

Rhythmically straightforward and written in comfortable, idiomatic ranges, this arrangement is well suited for high school, college, and university brass quintets, while also serving as an excellent warm-up, sight-reading, or chorale study for professional ensembles.

The transparent scoring encourages careful listening and unified musical shaping, making it equally effective as a short concert selection or as part of a rehearsal routine focused on tone, intonation, and ensemble cohesion.
