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.

The Band in the Bay - This is another sunshine-inspired piece.

At its core are the characters of Calypso music; an Afro-Caribbean music originating in Trinidad and Tobago and popular throughout the Caribbean.

Originally an acoustic form of singing with accompaniment, today’s electronic dance culture sees Calypso manifesting itself as Soca.

“Brilliant technique and superb artistry from all concerned.”

Denis Wick

“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

“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
