Forgotten Brass: Introduction and Allegro on a Bass by Max Reger - Robert Simpson

Forgotten Brass: Introduction and Allegro on a Bass by Max Reger - Robert Simpson
Desford Colliery Caterpillar Band
Conductor: James Watson
Robert Simpson's fourth work for brass band was composed in 1986.
The Introduction is mainly mysterious and deliberate while the Allegro is full of energy. The Bass is question is taken from Reger's Fantasia and Fugue in D Minor, opus 135b, and at one point, near the end of the work, Reger's own treatment of the bass is used.
Tape recording from the early (19) nineties.
