John Blanken
has created a swinging
arrangement of the famous
Scottish traditional tune
Scotland the Brave. The
usual version with
bagpipes is the best
known and there is a
similarity in
Swingin’ Kilts
owing to its long,
drone-like tones in the
accompaniment. The theme
has been rhythmically
adapted but it is still
easily recognisable.
Swingin’ Kilts
holds a challenge for
every brass band. It
makes demands in terms of
timing and technique
which give this work the
bravura feel that will
keep the audience as well
as the musicians swinging
in their
seats.
John
Blanken schuf eine
schwungvolle Bearbeitung
zu dem bekannten
schottischen Volkslied
Scotland the Brave. Der
Bearbeiter passte das
wieder erkennbare Thema
dem Swing-Stil an und
auch die langen, Bordun
ähnlichen Töne
erinnern an das beliebte
Dudelsackstück.
Swingin' Kilts ist
eine Herausforderung
für jede Formation. Es
stellt gewisse
Anforderungen an Timing
und Technik, die diesem
Werk die Bravour
verleihen, welche das
Publikum ebenso wie die
Musiker in Schwung
versetzen wird.
