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 Latin-American inspired piece hinting at the heat of the local climate and of that generated by the dancing. The entire piece is structured on the 3:2 clave rhythm synonymous with so much Salsa and Latin American music.
