Arr. Philip Sparke. Par MILES JOHN. Born in Jarrow, northeast England, in 1949, John Miles was something of a child prodigy, learning the piano from the age of five. In the early ’60s he persuaded his father to buy him a guitar and by the end of the decade he had joined a semi-professional band, The Influence. The group soon disbanded and by 1969 Miles was recording with his own group, The John Miles Band, releasing a dozen singles in the early ’70s. In 1975 Miles decided to move to London and secured a deal with Decca Records. By October that year, a newly formed band, John Miles and Co, had released their debut single, Highfly, but their greatest hit, which stormed the British charts in March 1976, was Music. / Niveau : 3 / Pop and rock / Recueil / Fanfare

Par HOSAY JAMES L.. Why not try something different with your fanfareband? Rough Mix is a poprock tune that incorporates elements of punk and alternative rock.

Par CONNERY BRIAN. Le heavy metal est un sous-genre du rock, devenu style musical à part entière dans les années 1970. Le heavy metal développe un son lourd, épais, centré sur la batterie et la guitare à la distorsion très amplifiée. Partant de ce constat, Brian Connery a créé une pièce puissante et énergique. Les rythmes et les mélodies sont caractéristiques du rock. La ligne de basse est dans la mouvance funk. Pour donner du ‘peps’ à votre interprétation, veillez à faire respecter les accents, les articulations et les nuances. / Niveau : 2 / Musique légère originale / Répertoire / Fanfare
