Piazzolla in Brass ensemble



I have found some interesting arrangements of the music by Piazzolla for the brass ensemble.



A. Piazzolla Libertango KYIV-BRASS

I found this recording very interesting because of the very brassy sound texture of the whole group. 

KYIV BRASS
KYIV-BRASS is a professional brass ensemble of international standing from Ukraine. The artists of the National Concert Hall for Organ and Chamber Music in Kiev, one of the most important cultural institutions in Ukraine, are among the most renowned musicians of the Ukrainian brass school. They are winners of numerous international competitions and take part in many ensembles and projects in Ukraine. The leader of the ensemble is the Ukrainian trumpeter Andriy Ilkiv, who is also the principal trumpeter of the Würth Philharmonic. For more than 15 years he has been a soloist at the National Concert Hall for Organ and Chamber Music in Kiev. Appearances have taken him to the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London, the Konzerthaus Berlin, the Munich Philharmonic, the Alte Oper Frankfurt, the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, the Belgrade Philharmonic as well as to France, Spain and China, among others. Andriy Ilkiv is the representative of Ukraine in the World & European Brass Association and teaches at the National Tchaikovsky Music Academy of Ukraine.

Oblivion by Astor Piazzolla | Oregon Brass Quintet

The Oregon Brass Quintet plays "Oblivion," one of composer Astor Piazzolla's most beloved tangos, while associate professors Brad Garner and Shannon Mockli from the University of Oregon Department of Dance perform a tango-inspired choreography. The Argentine-born Piazzolla revolutionized traditional tango music, fusing it with elements of classical and jazz and creating a new style that came to be known as "nuevo tango."

The Oregon Brass Quintet is made up of faculty members and instructors from the University of Oregon School of Music and Dance, including: Lydia Van Dreel on horn; Sarah Viens and Aaron Kahn on trumpet; Henry Henniger on trombone; and Michael Grose on tuba.

This video contains tango-inspired choreography that can help the audience to both aurally and visually understand the music, which is a very creative way to attract the audience's attention.

"Wagner for Five Bones" by Ben van Dijk

Image
  " Wagner for Five Bones " is composed by Ben van Dijk, who is currently Professor at the Conservatory of Amsterdam, and one of the best, well-known bass trombone players in the world. I like this piece because it contains the most impressive musical moments in Wagner's "Ring des Nibelungen '', which can be a very practical material to introduce Wagner and his composition to freshman year music students, non-music major students, and beginners who love classical music. Also, it contains some of the bass trombone audition excerpts, such as the Spear motif, Das Rheingold, and Valkyrie, etc. which provides a very good way to help the low brass section ( Two tenor trombones, one bass trombone, and one tuba) to get to know Wagner's music with time, tone, intonation, accuracy and style. Ben van Dijk recorded this video at home in 2004 on his solo CD, First Song. He used his Thein Bass trombone and Contrabass trombone to finish this recording. I think it is ver

Brass music for Trains

Image
Iron Horse is a brass quintet piece composed by American composer Kevin Mckee (b.1980). You can hear two different trains in this two different movements. Here is the composer's explanation of this composition in below, which is from the website: https://www.kevinmckeemusic.com/iron-horse I. The Blue Goose     In my hometown, Yreka, CA, there used to be a beautiful steam engine called the Blue Goose that took visitors on a slow excursion through Shasta Valley.  Picture a vast valley of rolling hills surrounded by snowcapped mountains (not too unlike the Rohan realm from the Lord of the Rings).  During many summers of my childhood my father and a friend of his used to go down to the depot with their guitars and entertain Blue Goose passengers with old-timey songs.  I’d often tag along and watch as the train pulled out of the station. To this day there are few things that will set my imagination off as much as train tracks disappearing around a bend.       The Blue Goose was my star

French composer and conductor, Henri Tomasi (1901-1971) published Concerto for Bassoon 1963. As with his other wind compositions, Être, ou ne pas être ('To be or not to be') for Bass Trombone or Tuba and 3 Trombones was well-received by audiences. This recording is played by the current and previous low brass sectional members of Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and Vancouver Opera Orchestra. Ilan Morgenstern , who is the currently bass trombonist of Vancouver Symphony played the solo in t his recording.  The tenor trombones are: Brian Wendel https://www.brianwendelmusic.com/ Andrew Poirier https://music.ubc.ca/profile/andrew-poirier/ Jeremy Berkman https://music.ubc.ca/profile/jeremy-berkman/ This music is inspired by The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, often shortened to Hamlet written by William Shakespeare sometime between 1599 and 1601. (From  Wikipedia ) Hamlet To be, or not to be, that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrow
