"Concorde" Sheet Music

Composer: Rob Davies

Surrey Brass is proud to have commissioned "Concorde" by Rob Davies.

Read about the concept for Concorde. This piece is written for large brass ensemble with percussion. Forces are 6 trumpets/1 doubling flugel, optional 7th trumpet, 4 horns, 3 trombones, bass trombone doubling contrabass trombone, 2 tubas, optional euphonium, 3 percussion. The duration of the piece is 22 minutes.

This piece comes with a Surrey Brass health warning. It is extremely challenging and Surrey Brass recommend that a very competent conductor is employed to avoid a mid air collision between players. The style is highly rhythmic, with considerable periods of continuous playing of complex repetitive patterns with changing time signatures, which requires great concentration and stamina. There is a jazz section in the middle with solos for trombone, flugel, and vibraphone. Considerable control is needed to maintain musical tension and retain sufficient energy for an impressive ending.

This piece received its world premiere on 4th May 2007 at Brooklands to celebrate the beginning of the  "Get Out and About" Elmbridge Cultural Festival 2007.
