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.
Fiddley Fum - This piece seeks to imitate a piece of Klezmer music.
One particular characteristic of a Klezmer song or dance is where the music starts slow and gradually speeds up into something of a frenzy.
In a typical Klezmer band the melody would be carried by either a Clarinet or Violin (Fiddle) hence Fiddley Fum.
