Kaleidoscopic Overdrive - Ben McMillan - euphonium and brass quintet |
||
|
A very exciting work for euphonium and brass quintet . composed for Steven Mead and Spanish Brass; The title comes from the constantly-shifting meter and somewhat hectic feel, the melody bouncing back and forth between soloist and quintet, and the shifts between somewhat unconnected sections.
The composer Ben McMillan writes: The main melody was something that had been in my head for a while, one of the many musical seeds that I constantly find myself humming or whistling absentmindedly. This became the first piece I ever had published, and the second ever recorded.
As recorded with Steven Mead and Spanish Brass Quintet on the Brass and Wines CD: https://youtu.be/NrmPgxwVjeU
