Composed by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. Arranged by Richard Decker. 20th Century,Contest,Festival,Multicultural,Spiritual,World. 123 pages. Charles Decker Music Press #651405. Published by Charles Decker Music Press (A0.1046907).This brilliant brass choir arrangement captures the excitement of the composer’s 1911 orchestral showpiece. Born of an African father, Coleridge-Taylor was an early 20th century English composer and conductor who was an influential advocate for Black composers. Originating in Africa and developed in Haiti, the Bamboula was danced for festivals and ceremonies. The ten-minute arrangement is scored for four B-flat trumpets (1st trumpet doubles on piccolo B-flat), 4 horns, 3 trombones, euphonium and tuba and is a tour de force for ambitious brass choirs guaranteed to inspire performers and excite audiences. The recording is of the entire edition.
