Mercury

SKU: BT.DHP-0910271-030

Mercury is a concert march composed in a typically British idiom. In 1990, Jan Van der Roost wrote this piece on the occasion of the 15-year anniversary of his own band: Brass Band Midden Brabant. Like many British marches, the main theme is written in a minor key. Powerful and virtuoso themes characterize the first part of this march, while the trio melody is much more melodical, offering the tenor register to display its lyrical skills. Follows a dynamic passage for trombones and trumpets/cornets, leading to a grandioso version of the main trio melody and thus concluding this march in a magnificent way.

Een stevige concertmars met een trio van een ongekende schoonheid. Een klassieker binnen het blaasmuziekrepertoire.

Dieser majestätische Marsch mit seinem einzigartigen Trioteil ist ein absoluter Klassiker und sollte in keinem Brass-Band-Repertoire fehlen.

Une marche de concert imposante qui contient un trio de beauté légendaire et qui est devenue immortelle dans le répertoire.
