Description
Symphonic Episodes is a dramatic and modern original work by the celebrated American composer Brian Balmages, arranged for brass band by Mike Kilmartin. The piece is characterized by its driving energy, contemporary rhythmic structures, and bold use of color. It moves through a series of contrasting “episodes” that range from aggressive, percussive sections to moments of haunting stillness. This arrangement offers a sophisticated challenge for the ensemble, making it an excellent choice for contest own-choice selections or for bands looking to explore high-quality 21st-century repertoire.
