Description
Conclude your performance with a sense of peaceful serenity using Eric Ball’s definitive arrangement of Arthur Sullivan’s The Long Day Closes. This Victorian partsong is treated with the utmost respect and musicality, focusing on the simple, singing quality of the melody. Ball utilizes the band’s ability to produce lush harmonies and a grounded low-brass foundation to create a truly moving soundscape that mimics the warm blend of a male voice choir. It is a perfect choice for a concert finale or a reflective highlight, leaving the audience with a lasting impression of quiet beauty and repose. The Long Day Closes is a cornerstone of the “slow air” repertoire, representing the heart of the brass tradition.
