Irish Mood (ROELS STIJN)

Solo For Eb Horn And Brass Band. Par ROELS STIJN. Irish Mood was written in a classic ‘theme and variations’ construction, opening with an Irish-inspired melodic theme, which is then followed by four variations of divergent character. After the introduction of the theme by the soloist, the cornets and trombones play the main melody in Variation 1, while the soloist provides a flowing counter melody. Next comes the highly extrovert and lively Variation 2, contrasted by an introverted Variation 3 in a minor key. A masterful tutti (Variation 4) then leads the piece toward a brilliant ending. / Niveau : 4 / oeuvre solo et Orchestre / Répertoire / Cor et Brass Band
