Sometime ago I wrote this piece in the style of an Argentinian Tango. The process was quick and straightforward; the only problem being that I had yet to think of a title. I decided to take a break and make a cup of tea. I opened a cupboard door (head height) to grab a tea bag only to be met by a falling tin of baked beans that had not been carefully stacked in the cupboard. One big surprise and a sore head later I had a title for my new piece !

Description

PARP ! - a collection of thirty original compositions.

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.

“This is absolutely one of the finest and most creative brass ensembles in the world."

Marc Dickman
University of South Florida writing in the International Trombone Association Journal

“Many recordings over the last few decades have demonstrated the superb quality of British brass playing; 'Under the Spell of Spain' will rightfully take its place among them.”

Paul Sarcich

“Stunning playing all round and a perfect 'snapshot' of the incredibly high standards of performance in brass playing in London today."

Peter Bassano
Head of Brass Royal College of Music (retired)

“This is absolutely one of the finest and most creative brass ensembles in the world."

“All cleverly arranged and beautifully played, with excellent sonics.”

John Sunier
Audiophile Audition

“Exploding onto the brass music scene with their debut album ‘Under the Spell of Spain’, the depth of versatility and virtuosity within the ranks of Superbrass has firmly secured it's place as one of the greatest large brass ensembles of all time”
