Description
David Bowie’s surreal and symphonic masterpiece Life on Mars is expertly translated for brass band by Frank Bernaerts. Known for its dramatic “Mick Ronson” string arrangement and Bowie’s soaring vocals, the piece fits the brass band sound remarkably well. Bernaerts’ arrangement maintains the glam-rock grandeur of the original, moving from a delicate, piano-like opening to a massive, stadium-sized chorus. It is a sophisticated and modern choice for bands looking to challenge their audience with high-quality rock-to-brass transcriptions.
