Description

This composition is a tongue-in-cheek ‘om-pa’ march. It was written to compliment a short series of compositions of mine to compliment the ever-popular Bavarian Bier Keller repertoire. In naming the pieces in this collection I opted not to directly celebrate the beer itself, but rather to celebrate the typical German platter that goes hand-in-hand with it.

“One of the finest brass ensemble recordings that has ever come my way.”

"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 !!!!!!!!!! )"

“Just wanted to give a general shout-out to SUPERBRASS - who are truly super-bad; for my money, one of the most exciting large brass ensembles EVER.”
