Product Description
Originally written for a standard brass choir, this version has been reworked to fit the standard instrumentation of a British Brass Band.
Quasi-tonal Fanfare for Brass and Percussion starts with a flurry of double tonguing in the trumpets, then rips into a whole series of sections that jump around tonality at random, sometimes following harmonic structures, sometimes not.
The percussion is used not simply as support for the brass, but as an equally important voice, weaving in and out of the texture, supplying important direction and momentum to the piece.
