Description
Feature your solo cornet in a moment of pure, lyrical beauty with Goff Richards’ exquisite arrangement of Dark Haired Marie. This traditional melody is treated with the warmth and sophisticated harmonic touch that made Richards one of the most beloved arrangers in the brass world. The solo part requires a singing, soulful tone and delicate phrasing, while the band provides a lush and cushioned accompaniment. This arrangement is a masterclass in the “slow air” style, allowing the soloist to truly shine without the need for empty technical display. It is a perfect choice for a concert feature or a reflective moment in a religious service, offering a hauntingly beautiful melody that will linger in the listener’s mind.
