Piece Description

This piece won the 1995 Gregynog Composers Award at the Gregynog Music Festival, Wales. It was inspired by Miles Davis's version of George Gershwin's Prayer from Porgy and Bess.

Review: "While it is not particularly taxing, Keep On Keepin' On would be effective only in the hands of an advanced graduate or professional group. It demands great control in difficult ranges with high pianissimo playing, and tight ensemble work is required to coordinate improvisatory melodic passages with their ostinato accompaniments." – Erin Mayhood of Boston University in Notes, March 2005

Traditional – Sea Shanty (Brass Quintet)

£9.95

This attractive brass quintet based on the traditional sea shanty What Shall We Do With The Drunken Sailor opens with a fanfare followed by a main theme, first on trumpets and then on the horn. A series of linked variations follow, with the tune passed between the instruments in constantly changing tempos and styles. A strong rhythmic accompaniment keeps the sea shanty mood and the piece finishes with a showy flourish. Arranged by Eileen Clews, this light hearted work gives each player the chance to show off their instrument, so making it an ideal concert piece or a study piece for brass workshops.
