A hybrid arrangement is a flexible piece designed for musicians of all levels, from beginners to professionals. Each part includes optional octave markings, enabling players to choose between easier and more challenging versions based on their skill level.

Johannes Brahms’ In stiller Nacht, originally composed as a vocal piece, is beautifully suited for adaptation. As a hybrid arrangement, it is versatile and can be performed by various ensembles, from saxophones to horn quintets. The flexible scoring allows each instrument group to enjoy Brahms’ expressive harmonies while accommodating a range of skill levels.
