E lucevan le stelle E lucevan le stelle (And the stars were shining) is a romantic aria from the third act of Puccinis opera Tosca, written in 1900. It is sung in Act 3 by Mario Cavaradossi (tenor), a painter who is awaiting his execution and in love with the singer Tosca. (Wikipedia). This aria is one of the most beloved in all the operatic repertoire and has been captured beautifully in this lovely arrangement for brass quintet by Vikentios Gionanidis. The music is appropriate for advanced performers. The instrumentation is for 2 Trumpets in C (B-flat parts supplied as well), Horn, Trombone, and Tuba.
