Description
A substantial and historically significant work, Metropolis was composed by Gordon Langford and served as the Youth Section Test Piece at the Royal Albert Hall in 1978. The piece is a vivid musical depiction of a bustling city, featuring driving rhythms, modern harmonic language, and technical challenges that test the precision and stamina of the entire ensemble. It remains a popular choice for contests and high-level concert programs, offering a sophisticated example of Langfordâs original symphonic writing for brass.
Difficulty 4
(Medium) A level 4 difficulty rating brings very challenging rhythms to the piece. Syncopation will be freely used, as will the more extreme ranges for all instruments.
