for brass instruments
for 2 trumpets in Bb or C, 4 horns, 3 trombones, tuba
This short, effective piece will provide brass orchestras with a great deal of enjoyment. It opens with a simple melody on the trumpet and gradually, adding all of the other voices, through a wide-ranging crescendo builds to the explosive conclusion. A great dynamic range is demanded of the orchestra and the conductor needs to take full advantage of the dramatic music. Suitable for many occasions and concert programs, this fanfare is also the perfect piece for competitions.
