Par JARRELL MICHAEL. I had already discovered texts from Gongora for some time in the bilingual edition of the Dogana, beautifully translated by Philippe Jaccotet. I found those poems were really rich, impossible to reduce to a single meaning. This is what drove me to use one of this author's sonnets at the time, in its original language, and to compose Eco for voice and piano. Recently, I discovered a German translation of that same sonnet and was struck by its entirely different interpretation. It gave me the idea to get back to the original text (and Eco) and add three other movements to it. Two of them using the French and German translations, and another one exclusively instrumental. Four different points of view of the same 'object', kind of like a spectator turning around a sculpture and discovering new aspects, new readings. / contemporain / Répertoire / Soprano et Ensemble

Leave it to Michael Mossman to combine two unique Latin styles (tango and bossa nova) into a single composition! The saxes take the lead on the sultry tango theme punctuated by the brass then a trumpet soloist takes over when thebossa style kicks in. This is ingenious writing that really works!

This original from Michael Sweeney features a contemporary sounding swing shuffle groove flowing melodic lines and an interesting harmonic structure. The solos can be played by any combination of alto trumpet trombone or guitar. A great fresh-sounding chart!

Written in a dynamic fast mambo style saxes do most of the heavy lifting in this original from Michael Mossman supported by punches and answers in the brass. With stunning harmonic treatments and effective pacing throughout theres also an opensolo section for any player. A sizzling production number for mature bands!

No. 1-3-Michael East's Twelve Ayerie Fancies (volume 1) for SSAT Recorder Quartet.

Here's a fun original swing tune with a bit of an edge! Michael Sweeney again shows his understanding of this easy level in this well-written blues that features some minor dissonances for spice and a melody that really swings.Includes sample solos for alto and trumpet but you can have anyone solo. Your band will sound great playing this one!

Michael Giacchino's soundtrack for the highly anticipated follow-up to 2009's Star Trek is dramatic and evocative. Using a mixture of familiar previous themes along with new material this medley for brass band brings the excitement and drama of the film to the concert stage.

Par EILISH BILLIE / BROWN MICHAEL (Arr.). Retardé par la pandémie mais devant finalement sortir en 2021, le nouveau James Bond, No Time to Die (Mourir peut attendre), se distingue par une chanson d?une sombre beauté interprétée par Billie Eilish. Rappelant l?ambiance harmonique et la classe des arrangements typiques des James Bond, cette chanson est déjà bien partie pour devenir un classique. Elle est ici parfaitement transcrite pour brass band par Christopher Bond./ Répertoire / Brass Band
