Recuerdos de Viajes - Francois Glorieux/Paul Voet

The Belgian piano virtuoso and composer Francois Glorieux (Kortrijk, 1932) has had a long international career as a concert pianist and conductor. As composer and arranger he worked, among others, with Stan Kenton and with the famous London brass ensemble 'Locke Brass Consort'. With that ensemble as well as with his own orchestra 'The Francois Glorieux Brass and Percussion Orchestra', he recorded many of his own compositions. His pupil trumpeter Paul Voet wrote an arrangement for brass band of these 'travel memories'. This is really a most fine original concert piece for brass band.

Rey's Theme from Star Wars Eposide VII: The Force Awakens - John Williams/Idar Torskangerpoll

The iconic soundtrack composed by John Williams continues with "The Force Awakens", the seventh Star Wars movie.This arrangement for Young Band tries to capture the rich timbre of the original orchestral music. It is very important to be aware of the balance in the band when performing this music. The horns should stand out dynamically when they plays the melody. Also make shure that the rhythmic are played as clear as possible, especially in the bass tubas and other low instruments. You may choose whether to play the upper or lower octave in the trumpet parts.

Samba de Janeiro (Brass Band Version) - Airto Moreira/Ramon Zenker/Henk Ummels

The infernal and extremely rhythmical 'Samba di Janeiro' was a hit made popular by the group Bellini years ago. A driving and exotic sounding percussion introduction is followed by a most compelling theme that everybody recognises at once and that will make you jump up and dance. The rather quiet, mesmerising, middle part aims to let you catch your breath, but soon that cintoxicating rhythm returns and there you go again.

Samba Sensation - Kees Vlak

A solo for alto saxophone or flugelhorn. Recommended for beginners. A good percussion performance will create a certain tension. The solo part does not require a developed technique, but rather a good sound.
