NBSO brass raises the roof!
George Frideric Handel: Water Music
Malcolm Arnold: Brass Quintet No. 1, Opus 73
Viktor Ewald: Brass Quintet No. 1
Charles Knox: Music for Brass Quintet and Piano
John Cheetham: Scherzo
Illustrious members of the NBSO brass ring in the holiday season with a spectacular program of classic and contemporary works. Handel’s Water Music, commissioned by King George I in 1717, delights the listener three centuries later. Two popular quintets by Malcolm Arnold and Viktor Ewald display the amazing range of this infrequently heard genre. Keyboard joins the mix with Charles Knox’s buoyant Music for Brass Quintet and Piano. Finally, John Cheetham’s cheeky Scherzo calls the quintet back for a sassy, brassy encore.
