A chance for the lower instruments to take the lead, this piece from the beginning of the second movement of Beethoven’s 7th Symphony has been described as one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written.
It is unusual as a Brass Band piece in that it builds ‘from the bottom’. With a repeating ostinato it is slow and stately, with carefully controlled pace and intensity. An unusual section of Beethoven’s 7th Symphony and a welcome change of pace.

When Beethoven’s First Symphony was premiered on April 2 1800, the audience was baffled by the audacity of its composer. Although the work seems, to late 20th century ears, to be little different from the late symphonies of Mozart and - especially - Haydn, the very opening bars gave notice to the musical world that here was a composer to be watched. Now the first movement has been arranged for full brass band, making the perfect alternative to an overture at a concert.

Land of Desolation, Land of Mists
"Land of Desolation, Land of Mists" is the title given to the second movement of Tchaikovsky's First Symphony with carries the sub-title Winter Dreams, a theme carried onward by its first two movements. However, those seeking the "misty desolation" of a winter on the steppes will not find it here, for of all Tchaikovsky's symphonies, this one bears the aura of optimism.

Duration: 6:00 Difficulty: Difficult
This stunning arrangement really does capture the essence of Aram Khachaturian's 3rd Symphony. It is powerful and stirring music and will prove a challenge to any brass band. As recorded by Eikanger-Bjorsvik Musikklag on CD 21966 Best by Farr.
