From 'Carmen'. Composed by Geoffrey Brand. Arranged by Geoffrey Brand. Band Music. Score and parts. Duration 3:30. Published by G & M Brand Music Publishers (CN.R10163).

Carmen can be considered to be Bizet's crowning achievement. Geoffrey Brand's skillful arrangement brings two of Bizet's most popular themes within the reach of technically less-advanced players.

Carmen can be considered to be Bizet's crowning achievement - as well as transforming the French 'opera-comique' in the process. It is odd therefore that the majority of critics condemned the libretto and music after the first performance. Luckily, history has changed that verdict and recognized a masterpiece. Geoffrey Brand's skillful arrangement brings two themes within the reach of technically less advanced players.

From 'The Childhood of Christ'. Composed by Geoffrey Brand. Arranged by Geoffrey Brand. Band Music. Score only. Duration 5:15. Published by G & M Brand Music Publishers (CN.S11260).

Geoffrey Brand's arrangement of Berlioz's Shepherds' Farewell form L'Enfance du Christ is restrained, delicate, and contemplative. In this arrangement for small wind orchestra, the instruments are called upon to display their softer persuasive sounds in order to retain the sensitive nature of this tender music.

L'Enfance du Christ (The Childhood of Christ), written between 1850 and 1854, is the nearest that Berlioz got to writing an oratorio. It is in three parts; he called it a 'sacred trilogy.' Throughout, the music is restrained, delicate, and contemplative. In its original version, The Shepherds' Farewell is scored for chorus accompanied by two oboes, two clarinets, and strings. With these selected colors, Berlioz achieves a masterpiece of delicacy and serenity. In this arrangement for small wind orchestra without chorus, the wind instruments are called upon to display their softer persuasive sounds in order to retain the sensitive nature of this tender music. This arrangement may be used with chorus utilizing the original chorus parts. The key is one half tone lower than the original setting.

This delightful arrangement of Mozart's popular aria from The Magic Flute features the euphonium (or bassoon). Geoffrey Brand has even added a variation so that the soloist has even more of an opportunity to display instrumental prowess.

The introduction and The Birdcatcher's Aria are as in Mozart's opera 'The Magic Flute' (where the aria is sung 3 times), with the distinctive flute figure as a feature. In this arrangement, a variation has been added to provide the soloist with the opportunity to display instrumental prowess.

Flute Feature. Composed by Geoffrey Brand. Arranged by Geoffrey Brand. Band Music. Score only. Duration 3:15. Published by G & M Brand Music Publishers (CN.S11083).

Brand utilizes the flutes as the featured instrument in this lighthearted arrangement of Cherubino's Aria from the Mozart's opera The Marriage of Figaro. The song, entitle Voi che sapete (Tell me fair ladies), is introduced in the opera as if written by Cherubino himself and is simply a diversion rather than of relevance to the plot. Although initial reaction to The Marriage of Figaro was somewhat lukewarm, it has of course established itself as one of the great comic operas, and this canzona became and 18th century pop song.

This 'Canzona' comes from Mozart's comic opera The Marriage of Figaro, first performed in Vienna in 1786. Cherubino is a young page in the household of Count Almaviva, although the role is written for a soprano and usually cast for a singer with 'boyish' looks.
