Festmusik der stadt Wien, by Richard Strauss - arranged for Brass Ensemble by Daniel Drage.

Strauss finished the score of the “Festive Music for the City of Vienna” on January 14, 1943 at his Viennese home. It was written for the Viennese Corp of Trumpeters and scored for 10 trumpets, 7 trombones (2 alto, 3 tenor,  2 bass), 2 tubas and timpani, divided into two choirs.  The score is dedicated to the Vienna Town Council, officially in gratitude  for having been awarded its Beethoven Prize the previous year (see note below for more on this).  Strauss himself conducted the work’s premier in the Festive Hall of the Vienna Rathaus on April 9, 1943. Ten days later he made a much shorter version of the work known simply as “Vienna Fanfare.” ( from Paul Thomason´s site )
