PARP ! - a collection of thirty original compositions.
Set at a Junior Band level, PARP ! follows a flexi scoring formula of mixed brass players; requiring a minimum of 4 brass players - but the maximum number is endless.
The pieces are predominantly groove based and seek to take participants through a wide range of styles and musical identities.
In the instance of using just four brass players, playing just the top part in each case will provide a cohesive performance.
A Rural Scene - This Celtic sounding piece is an adaption of a folk ballad (for Violin) that I wrote for my wife in 2021. J.M.
It was given as a gift to her on Mothering Sunday 2021.
In this brass adaptation the melody is shared around all voices of the ensemble.
