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.

“Wow! What a great CD. The playing is superb”

Dr. Robert Childs
Musical Director, Cory Band

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

“This intriguing "water-borne" voyage runs the gamut from more classically-tinged interpretations to straight-ahead and improvised jazz. Along that journey we are treated to a highly inspired and masterfully presented performance.”

Nicholas F. Mondello

“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 ?”

Graham Rickson

“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 end result, is a resounding success. This is not a commercial CD, this is education, passion and self belief written in the sleeve notes”

Richard Walker
British Trombone Society
