Symphony for Brass, Victor Ewald/Hopkinson. Brass Band

Symphoni for Brass: Victor Ewald arr. Michael Hopkinson

Set as the 3rd. Section Test Piece for the National Finals of the 2014 British Brass Band Championships.
Previously set as the 2nd. Section Testpiece for the 2002 Regionals.

Victor Ewald was born in Russia in St. Petersburg in 1860. this is one of only a small number of works specifically written for brass instruments during the Romantic Period. If you like Tckaikovsky's music, then you will love this major addition to the brass band repertoire - Tchaikovsky was perhaps Victor Ewalds strongest compositional influence.

Stykket er basert på Victor Ewalds Brass-Kvintetter
