Description
Celebrate the delicate and lyrical side of the brass band with Ray Steadman-Allen’s beautiful arrangement of the Traditional Norwegian melody, Astrid mi Astrid. Scored as a feature for Flugel Horn, this work is a masterclass in atmospheric scoring and tonal warmth. Steadman-Allen uses transparent textures and lush, “organ-like” harmonies to support the soloist’s soaring, folk-like melody. The music evokes a sense of peace and natural beauty, requiring great sensitivity to phrasing and dynamic control. This is an exquisite choice for a reflective concert moment or a soloist showcase, providing a poignant and musically rewarding highlight that showcases the expressive depth and versatility of the modern British-style brass band.
