Description

Part of a collection of eight contrasting pieces entitled "Weather Report" that continues our Superbrass series of 3 part flexi resources for Junior Bands.

This resource builds on the foundations established and musically showcased in the starter resource – 5 & In !.

"Weather Report" includes parts for all brass instruments and is designed in such a way that the parts can be combined together to form a wholesome sounding, harmonically complete band for 3 to 30 (or more) brass players plus an optional drummer.

Each piece picks up on the conditions associated by weather conditions.

The pieces can be learnt and performed in any order.

Mercury Rising – the temperature and indeed the pressure and tension are on the rise.

“Every now and again a recording that is both truly outstanding and will have great appeal to brass band listeners appears on the shelves. We are delighted to make it the first recipient of our CD of the Year Editors Award.”

Kenneth Crookston
British Bandsman

“Under the Spell of Spain is an extraordinary CD, in company with the finest large brass ensemble recordings ever made. This is a must buy CD!”

Don Lucas
Boston University writing in the International Trombone Association Journal

“The entire programme can be likened to a sumptuous feast, with each track having its own highly delectable and thoroughly satisfying flavour. The CD is surely compulsive listening for all brass and percussion enthusiasts.”

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

Jiggs Whigham
International Jazz Trombone Soloist and Musical Director, BBC Big Band

“This is joyous stuff; an intelligent, coherent crossover disc, performed with phenomenal punch. Brilliantly recorded too – what’s the point of assembling a collective of virtuoso brass players if they can’t make your ears bleed ?”
