Fanfare Band - Grade 3 SKU: BT.DHP-1043619-020
Composed by John Blanken. Applause Series. Original Light Music. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 2004. De Haske Publications #DHP 1043619-020. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-1043619-020). John Blanken has created a swinging arrangement of the famous Scottish traditional tune Scotland the Brave. The usual version with bagpipes is the best known and there is a similarity in Swingin’ Kilts owing to its long, drone-like tones in the accompaniment. The theme has been rhythmically adapted but it is still easily recognisable. Swingin’ Kilts holds a challenge for every brass band. It makes demands in terms of timing and technique which give this work the bravura feel that will keep the audience as well as the musicians swinging in their seats.
John Blanken schuf eine schwungvolle Bearbeitung zu dem bekannten schottischen Volkslied Scotland the Brave. Der Bearbeiter passte das wieder erkennbare Thema dem Swing-Stil an und auch die langen, Bordun ähnlichen Töne erinnern an das beliebte Dudelsackstück. Swingin' Kilts ist eine Herausforderung für jede Formation. Es stellt gewisse Anforderungen an Timing und Technik, die diesem Werk die Bravour verleihen, welche das Publikum ebenso wie die Musiker in Schwung versetzen wird.
