Taiko & Geisha, Fredrick Schjeldrup. Concert Band

Description
Teiko & Geisha - Trad. - Fredrick Schjelderup - 2'40'' - BVT093

"Taiko & Geisha" was commissioned by the Norwegian brass band, Kleppe Musikklag, as a part of their contest program: "Around the world", for the entertainment contest, Siddis Brass Festival, in 2012. The piece is in some ways a small "postcard" or a hommage to the sound of different asian music. It includes drum features (quasi Taiko-drumming), solos and great big melodic lines as well as the sound of traditional Koto-harp themes.
