Hector Berlioz has written some of the most electrifying music of all time for brass players. Whose hair hasn t stood on end after the last chord of Roman Carnival. The Hungarian March from the Damnation of Faust has all the components of a rip-roaring good time for audience and performer alike, complete with that effective (loud) ending. Distilled to it s essence (without those superfluous string and woodwind parts) this piece is scored for double brass quintet with bass drum. |
