Description
“Manhattan Skyline,” composed by David Shire and arranged for brass band by Alan Catherall, captures the vibrant energy and excitement of the “Big Apple.” Known for its driving rhythms and sophisticated, urban-inspired harmonies, this work offers a high-octane change of pace for the ensemble. Alan Catherall’s professional orchestration brings Shire’s cinematic style to the brass medium, featuring punchy brass hits and soaring melodic lines that require technical precision and a bold, energetic sound. This is a fantastic choice for “pops” concerts or film-themed programs, providing a stylish and high-impact showcase that will leave the audience feeling the pulse of the city.
