Detailed Description

Brass Band

SKU: BT.RSMESSAYSC

Composed by Edward Gregson. Score Only. R Smith and Co Ltd #RSMESSAYSC. Published by R Smith and Co Ltd (BT.RSMESSAYSC).

This work was specially commissioned as the test piece for a new brass band competition in 1971, held at the Royal Albert Hall, London. It is in three movements, the titles of which all have literary connotations. The first movement, Dialoguetakes the form of ‘conversations’ between the instruments. The second movement, Soliloquy is dedicated to the memory of Gilbert Vinter - a composer who did so much in the 1960s to bring the brass band into the modern world. The final movement,Epigram, creates strong rhythmic contrasts and exploits the more virtuoso character of the brass band.
