brass quintet
Five horn players
A brass quintet is a chamber music ensemble of five brass instruments, typically two trumpets, horn, trombone, and tuba.
The term also refers to compositions written for this combination: The brass quintet performed a Bach arrangement.
Like string quartets, brass quintets are standard formations in classical music, though they also play jazz and popular repertoire.
