Composed by Brian Balmages. Arranged by Benjamin (Benthoven) Lau. Contemporary. Brass Band. 90 pages. BenthovenMusic Publications #6612801. Published by BenthovenMusic Publications (A0.977645).That Which Binds Us (Theme and Variations) for Brass Band
Originally Composed by Brian Balmages, Adapted by Benjamin Lau
Level of Difficulty: Grade 3.5
Program Notes:
Centered around the various stages of grief, the music cleverly uses theme and variations to take the audience on a roller coaster of emotions. From the "everyday norm" to moments of grief, anger, sorrow and acceptance, the powerful musical lines eventually lead into a massive ending reminiscent of Stravinsky’s Firebird. Epic in every sense of the word. This piece originally written for concert band by Brian Balmages has been adapted for brass band and percussion by BenthovenMusic. The percussion section has been reduced to only 4 players for the appropriate brass band setup, and it gives room for the brass to show a little bit more. The combination of exciting fast moments with slow and quiet playing makes this an excellent choice as a major work for brass band competitions in the mid-level section.
