Description
The soulful and iconic guitar solo Europa (Earth’s Cry Heaven’s Smile) by Carlos Santana is reimagined for brass band in this inspired arrangement by Jerome Thomas. The piece focuses on the slow, burning intensity and the sustain-heavy melodic lines characteristic of Santana’s style. Thomas utilizes the band to create a lush, atmospheric accompaniment that allows the soloist (usually a cornet or flugelhorn) to explore deep emotional expression and soaring high notes. It is a sophisticated and sultry addition to the brass band pop repertoire.
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.
