The Brass Band dates back to the early nineteenth century and England’s Industrial revolution. Music of great charm and style were produced by the hands of good players.
A flugelhorn, from the same family of trumpets and cornets is typically the main feature of a brass band, and its expanding size results in a tone bridged between a cornet and lower pitched instruments.
Whilst cornets carry the tune in the band, its pitch is dependent on the length of the tubing in the instrument. The smaller the instrument, the higher the pitch. The trombone tubing gives a much deeper and more mellow sound unlike the ones of a trumpet, as it changes pitch by moving a slide up and down rather than valves. The Alto and Baritone accompany them with more subdued tones.
The repertoire of brass bands are uniquely and unusually flexible, with pieces consisting of anything from original works, orchestral transcriptions and featured soloists to novelty compositions, medleys, marches and more.
The wide dynamic and colouristic variety brass bands have to offer means they are incredibly versatile and suitable for various different occasions.
