Description
This unique pairing brings together two contrasting masterpieces: Schubert’s serene “Du bist die Ruh” and the brilliant “Toccata” from Monteverdi’s Orfeo, arranged for brass band by Stephen Wood. The set offers a wonderful study in styles, moving from the lush, lyrical beauty and controlled phrasing of the Schubert song to the bold, rhythmic fanfares of the early Baroque era. Stephen Wood’s professional arrangements ensure a clear and balanced ensemble sound, allowing the band to showcase their stylistic versatility and tonal range. This is an ideal selection for concerts seeking a sophisticated and historically-rooted contrast, providing a high-quality musical journey across centuries.
