SKU: WO.0175PTS

Composed by James Curnow. Major work for brass band. Serious Concert. Instrumental Parts. With Standard Notation. Winwood Music #0175PTS. Published by Winwood Music (WO.0175PTS).

Sinfonietta for Brass Band is basically a short symphony in three movements. The maestoso opening of the first movement introduces the melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic material from which the entire work is structured.
The first movement, allegro vivace, is a brilliant capriccio built upon two contrasting melodic lines that are developed throughout the movement. The form is sonata-allegro and it creates an atmosphere of energy and drive.
The percussion section opens the second movement and presents the underlying rhythmic ostinato on which this brief but expressive siciliano (pastorale) is developed.
Movement three is a rollicking rondo that challenges the technical and rhythmic control of the whole ensemble. The brilliant closing fanfare is based on material which has been developed in all three movements.
