Balkan Brass Band music relies heavily on replicating various folk song and dance traditions from the region. Let’s not forget that the country of Romania is in Balkans and a region of Romania is that of Transylvania. Probably the most famous resident of Transylvania is the fictional character Count Dracula. Without putting too fine a point on it, Count Dracula would have benefitted from a visit to the dentist; a brave one at that

Description

Part of a collection of thirty original compositions and arrangements entitled Ba-Da-Boom Brass.

Inspired by the heritage and culture of world and historical brass-related styles.

We hope this repertoire will prompt a growing inquisitiveness for brass players of all ages and styles and was created with a brass club or gathering in mind.

Set at a moderate / training band standard, these pieces can be played by a flexi group of mixed brass instruments plus assorted optional percussion.

A minimum of 4 brass players is necessary, but the maximum is limitless.

All 4 brass voices have occasional divisi passages; in these instances more texture and harmonic colour is added.

In the instance of using just four brass players, playing just the top part in each case will provide a cohesive performance.

“One of the all time great brass recordings OF ALL TIME”
