Description
Bring the house down with the high-octane energy of the Russian Sailor’s Dance. From Glière’s ballet The Red Poppy, this arrangement by world-renowned tubist and conductor James Gourlay is a tour de force for brass. The piece begins with a heavy, grounded theme that gradually accelerates into a frantic, virtuosic finale. It is a fantastic showcase for every section of the band, requiring crisp articulation and impeccable rhythmic timing. It is an absolute showstopper that never fails to leave the audience exhilarated.
Difficulty 4
(Medium) A level 4 difficulty rating brings very challenging rhythms to the piece. Syncopation will be freely used, as will the more extreme ranges for all instruments.
