Heard the piece was sent out to the the EBBC contestors.... Has anyone rehersed it yet, and is it any good?
Excellent idea :!:WorldofBrass.com said:Yep, the competing bands should all now have their sets.
We are the publishers of St.Magnus and have just made the Conductors score and a Study score available on our website.
The main purpose of this is to take some of the heat off our trade stand in Glasgow and we thought that one of the ways we could do this was by making scores available before the event.
It will also give the audience chance to acquaint themselves with the piece sooner than the first performance.

By meaning any good, I mean if it's a good piece. Don't think it's irrelevent since I must skip school a day to go to Glasgow, and I would like to hear it it's worth listening to all day, or if school is better :wink:carlwoodman said:The ISB 'played it through' a few weeks ago for the benefit of the chap who was originating the score for publication.
I've put 'played it through' in italics as that is all we did. No real rehearsal, just a few re-starts when we were left with only a couple of people still playing!
Being written by Ken Downie, I'm sure it will be enjoyable to listen to as a piece of music.
As to whether it is 'any good' what criteria are you wishing us to use?
An irrelevent question as far as I'm concerned.

I got my score for this some time ago and looked through it and thought exactly the same :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:Nadia said:I'm *beep* glad I don't play tuned percussion.. thats all I'm saying!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not having the score in front of me just at the minute but I think it's vibraphone in duet with EEb bass.PeterBale said:just waiting to see how bands get on with the EEb bass/xylophone (or is it glock?) duet :wink:
