Here
is a description of the
music by the composer,
Henry
Wolking. Mannequin
Challenge is a work for
brass quintet inspired by
the participatory video
fad in which a group of
people are shown posing
stock-still for the
camera while music is
playing in the
background. It became a
social media
participating video fad
in November 2016 (with
the hashtag
#mannequinChallenge).
Since then it has had
become a world-wide
phenomena, sort of like
the Ice-Bucket Challenge,
which I considered
writing about, but then
got cold feet. This work
inverts the mannequin
challenge sequence in
that the music plays
first, and then the
musicians freeze in brief
silence. Though the
freezes are only in 3/8
in between the
particularly beguiling
musical interludes, they
may be extended to any
length. Long live social
media and brass quintet
mannequin
challenges!
This piece is
scored for traditional
brass quintet with
Trumpets in B-flat and
for advanced performers
of about 2+ minutes in
length.

Contemporary
British composer Brian
Kelly has composed a
series of place-inspired
suites, including the
Cuban Suite and the New
Orleans Suite. The Suite
Parisienne's four
movements suggest the
Paris of years gone by -
Quartier Latin,
Promenade, Memoire,
Moulin Rouge - in music
that shows a deep
understanding of brass
instruments and a lively,
sophisticated setting of
melodies that are almost,
but not quite, French
tunes. The solistic
opportunities for each
instrument are generously
shared and the three
livelier movements make a
brilliant frame for the
longing tone of the
Memoire movement.
