Par BULLA STEPHEN. Here’s a delightful folk song of Irish origin, with a hint of nostalgia thrown in for good measure. It was probably once played on the Bagpipes and is definitely emulated that way in this arrangement. / Niveau : 2 / Musique légère originale / Répertoire / Concert Band

Par BLANKEN JOHN. 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. / Niveau : 3 / Musique légère originale / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie
