Description
Challenge your ensemble with James Curnow’s Brass Metamorphosis, a significant and complex work for the modern brass band. Often utilized as a top-section test piece, this composition is a masterclass in developmental variation. Curnow utilizes a single thematic cell and transforms it through a variety of styles, textures, and moods, from aggressive and rhythmic to lush and lyrical. The work demands absolute technical precision, transparent ensemble balance, and a high degree of musical intelligence. Its brilliant fanfares and “organ-like” climaxes make it a thrilling experience for the listener and a rigorous test of a band’s discipline. It is a “must-have” for any serious competitive library.
