New Sounds in Brass is a series for concert bands that collects arrangements of various musical genres, including Studio Ghibli, Disney, anime titles, and J-Pop, arranged by the best ensemble arrangers in Japan.
This collection features four particularly popular pieces composed for Hayao Miyazaki's animated films from the works of renowned Japanese composer and maestro Joe Hisaishi. The first half opens with the delightful and lively The Village in May and the charming stroll of Hey Let's Go from My Neighbor Totoro.
