A great value set of FIVE original compositions/arrangements by prominent 20th Century British big band arrangers John Golland, Gordon Jacob, Roy Newsome and Michael Ball, and edited by Harry Mortimer.The Bandkraft series is a collection of superb arrangements and original compositions (actually gems) for brass band that is challenging and enjoyable for polished performers, while within the grasp of players of more limited technique. The flexible nature of the arrangements means that the pieces can also be played successfully when not every part is present.Includes:1. Bandkraft â€“ John GollandA substantial piece with an exciting syncopated rhythm introduced in the opening bars and referred to throughout in a fanfare-like manner, to which a hint of dissonance adds extra thrill to the sound.2. Saraband â€“ Gordon JacobA stately Elizabethan dance of great beauty that utilises modal harmony in Jacobâ€™s characteristic style. Constant speed, full note values and careful playing will achieve a beautiful, delicate effect.3. La Donna E Mobile â€“ Verdi, arr. Roy NewsomeAn amusing arrangement of a popular favourite by a conductor and adjudicator of international acclaim. Easy and enjoyable to play and to listen to.4. Spikeâ€™s Rag â€“ Michael BallA skilfully written piece in the true tradition of Scott Joplin, with the ragtime rhythms the backdrop to an unfolding conversation between the sections of the band. Really persuasive entertainment.5. National Anthem (British) â€“ arr. John GollandA simple first verse setting the scene for the colourful and majestic second, utilising chromatic harmonies and an optional tenor counter melody for added splendour.Instrumentation:Soprano CornetCornet 1Cornet 2/FlugelCornet 3Horn 1Horn 2Horn 3Baritone 1/Trombone 1Baritone 2/Trombone 2Bass TromboneEuphoniumE Flat BassB Flat BassPercussionFull score (including two stave reduction)All BandKraft titles assume a reasonable level of competence on each instrument (approx.
