The observation and celebration of gypsy culture has been very prolific on UK television screens in recent years. Ironically, the background and incidental music associated with these programmes borrows heavily from the gypsy brass bands of Eastern Europe, particularly from the Balkan region. This Big Fat Gypsy Dance seeks to capture the musical flavour and attitude of this style of music – party on !

Description

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.

“Wow! What a great CD. The playing is superb”

Dr. Robert Childs
Musical Director, Cory Band

"WOW !!!!! all of you should be locked up !!!! What great stuff - the compositions/arrangements, the playing (OUTRAGEOUS !!! ), everything is simply fantastic. (actually - i couldn't have expected anything less ! ) Many, many thanks to you and all for your superb contributions. yet again, you've managed to raise the bar! (an inch or two is ok but a few yards is really unfair !!!!!!!!!! )"
