Description
Sounding very patriotic in nature, For Those Who Have Served by David Marlatt would make an ideal selection to be performed at a reflective event or simply to pay homage to the thousands of men and women who have served in the military or front line workers during times of crisis. The noble theme is first heard in a solo flugel horn before moving to a more full sonority. Another theme with a very different feel is introduced before the flugel horn sound brings this lyrical piece to peaceful conclusion. Arranged by brass quintet.

More about this title

About the Composer: David Marlatt

David Marlatt is a prolific composer and arranger whose work spans concert band, wind ensemble, and chamber music. His compositions frequently draw on American themes and patriotic sentiment, crafted with an ear for accessibility without sacrificing musical substance. Marlatt's output for brass ensembles in particular has become a staple in school and community music programs, known for clean orchestration and emotionally direct writing.

Why we love this

The flugel horn carries the emotional weight here, giving your quintet a warm, intimate sound that cuts through without blaring. Most patriotic pieces feel heavy-handed; this one trusts the nobility of the material and lets the lyrical writing do the work. It fits neatly into memorial services, veteran recognition events, or a concert program that needs genuine reflection without veering into bombast.

What to expect

Dignified without pretension. The flugel horn warmth gives the piece an intimate quality that makes the patriotic sentiment feel personal rather than propagandistic. You finish this piece having said something honest about service and sacrifice.

Who it's for

Brass quintets looking for a meaningful piece with genuine emotional resonance and a clear ceremonial purpose. Teachers and directors who need accessible but sincere music for veteran tributes, memorial events, or concert programs that reach beyond the usual patriotic fare.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the opening flugel horn solo generously; the piece hinges on that solo voice establishing intimacy before the ensemble enters. The other players should sit back and support, not compete.
  • Attend to the shift between themes. The second theme has a different character, so mark that transition clearly in your parts and rehearse it as a deliberate mood change, not just new notes.
  • Shape the final resolution with care. A peaceful conclusion means discipline in the final measures; resist the urge to let dynamics drift or attacks soften prematurely.

How to use it

Slot this into a concert structured around American themes or as a standalone tribute during awareness events. Its Easy-Medium difficulty makes it rehearsal-friendly enough to prepare quickly if a community moment calls for it. Pair it with other Marlatt arrangements or brass repertoire that shares its sincere tone.
