Description
Challenge your ensemble with the technical and intellectual depth of Elgar Howarth’s Ascendit in Coeli. Originally conceived as a major test piece, this work is a landmark of modern brass literature. Howarth utilizes contemporary harmonic language and complex rhythmic structures to explore the full expressive potential of the British brass band. From its proclamatory, high-register fanfares to its dense, interweaving contrapuntal sections, the music demands the absolute best from every player. This is an essential selection for top-section bands looking for a rigorous and rewarding challenge, standing as a testament to the symphonic power and modern brilliance of the brass medium.
