Description
Bring the lighthearted charm of Vienna to your stage with Derek Ashmore’s clever arrangement of Johann Strauss’ Pizzicato Polka. Originally written to be played entirely with plucked strings, this arrangement translates that percussive and playful character into the brass medium with great success. The piece requires crisp, short articulation from the entire ensemble, demanding a high level of rhythmic precision and a shared sense of wit. It is an outstanding “light” concert selection or encore, guaranteed to delight the audience with its infectious humor and high-energy drive. Ashmore ensures that the “champagne-like” effervescence of the original is beautifully preserved for the brass band.
