Description
Experience the expressive depth and technical brilliance of Morley Calvert in this significant work for brass band. Introduction Elegy and Caprice is a masterclass in developmental form, moving from a bold, proclamatory opening into a deeply moving and lyrical Elegy. The work concludes with a high-velocity Caprice that demands technical virtuosity and rhythmic precision from every section. Calvert’s writing utilizes the full range of the British brass band, from delicate, transparent textures to massive, “organ-like” sonorities. This piece is a superb choice for a major concert centerpiece or a challenging contest selection, highlighting the ensemble’s ability to navigate complex emotional landscapes and technical hurdles.
