Superbrass Selected Editions

Superbrass Selected Editions

EDITED BY ROGER ARGENTE

Superbrass has a very distinctive approach to music-making, an ensemble which continuously prioritises working for, and alongside, young and amateur musicians. We sought to form a collective of some of the country's leading and most inspiring brass and percussion players, prepared to offer advice, playing tips and support to young and amateur players, while performing alongside them at the very highest level.

At every concert and workshop, Superbrass strives to premiere new material, as well as re-visiting the rich heritage of repertoire of previous generations. From this ethos has sprung an extensive, ever-expanding library of original compositions and arrangements. There are now close on 100 works for Brass Ensemble, more than 30 works for Brass Band and a soon to be realised Junior Superbrass Series.

The varied repertoire of the main series includes original compositions in classical and jazz styles, classical transcriptions with arrangements of rock standards, television and film themes. The music is sometimes technically challenging, with percussion and drum kit often playing an important part.
“Music first and last should sound well,
should allure and enchant the ear.”Sir Thomas Beecham
