Description
“Salamanca,” composed by the duo Baker/Stone and arranged for brass band by Dennis Wilby, is a vibrant and rhythmically infectious work that captures the colorful spirit of the Spanish city. The piece is characterized by its light, dance-like qualities and Mediterranean-inspired melodic lines, demanding a crisp articulation and a great sense of ensemble timing. Dennis Wilby’s professional orchestration highlights the bright, singing quality of the cornets and flugelhorns, supported by a buoyant rhythmic foundation. It is an ideal choice for light concert programs, summer bandstands, or as a spirited change of pace, offering a polished and highly entertaining performance that celebrates the joy of international musical flavors.
