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.
I-Beith -Ar - This composition aims to emulate some of the dance beats and riffs so popular on many a Mediterranean island each summer season.
A full-on, rhythmically driven dance section appears at regular intervals.
This is interspersed with a slightly more relaxed interlude section at which point you can get your breath back.
I hope you enjoy working out the title of this piece.
