Recognizing the possibilities for new compositions and arrangements, Henry Meredith has begun to collect works that are unique and suitable for his brass band. Driving scalar passages and energetic rhythms are used to propel this piece. Donald Coakley's exciting writing is present and Celebration has been suitably adapted for brass instruments. A lyrical middle section is surrounded by two joyful and lively outer parts in which the trumpets exchange sixteenth note passages with the low brass. This work is an exciting addition to new music for the brass band.
Parts are available in both treble or bass clef to best suit all players.
This is a huge new work arranged for brass band. The original was scored for a concert band with antiphonal trumpet fanfares and a huge sound. This same grand concept has been written into this version. Melody is found throughout the ensemble and all parts are both technically and musically challenging. This is an 11 minute work that contains huge dynamic contrasts and varying sections.
