Product Description

That Which Binds Us (Theme and Variations) for Brass Band
Originally Composed
 by Brian Balmages, Adapted by Benjamin Lau

Level of Difficulty: Grade 3.5

Program Notes:
Centered around the various stages of grief, the music cleverly uses theme and variations to take the audience on a roller coaster of emotions. From the "everyday norm" to moments of grief, anger, sorrow and acceptance, the powerful musical lines eventually lead into a massive ending reminiscent of Stravinskys Firebird. Epic in every sense of the word. This piece originally written for concert band by Brian Balmages has been adapted for brass band and percussion by BenthovenMusic. The percussion section has been reduced to only 4 players for the appropriate brass band setup, and it gives room for the brass to show a little bit more. The combination of exciting fast moments with slow and quiet playing makes this an excellent choice as a major work for brass band competitions in the mid-level section.
