Description
“Fanfares and Love Songs” is a compelling three-movement work by Gavin Higgins, designed to contrast the two defining pillars of the brass band: extroverted brilliance and lyrical warmth. The movements move between shimmering, virtuosic fanfares that demand technical flair and deeply emotive “love songs” that showcase the ensemble’s capacity for lush harmonies and singing melodies. Gavin Higgins is a leading voice in modern brass composition, and this work exemplifies his ability to blend tradition with a contemporary, high-impact aesthetic. It is a substantial and professionally rewarding centerpiece for any concert or contest program, offering a vivid exploration of the brass band’s diverse tonal palette.
