Brass Bandbook (Intermediate)
DESCRIPTION
The Preservation Hall Foundation’s Brass Bandbook for intermediate learners is designed for musicians with some experience and comfort with their instrument. The arrangements are written with flexibility to represent a traditional New Orleans jazz band or a New Orleans-style brass band, with a few nontraditional instrument additions. Only one horn is needed per part and ensembles can add or swap instruments as needed.
BRASS BANDBOOK ORIGINS
This essential collection from the New Orleans brass band repertoire is a derivative of the Advanced Brass Bandbook, written and composed by Mark Braud. The Brass Bandbook transcriptions are a favorite resource among educators and musicians and are intended to increase access to younger audiences, as well as various abilities.
