Thank you for checking this out. I absolutely love this piece and I have a lot of friends that play in this ensemble. Very fun people and it is absolutely mesmerizing to hear them play. 22:36 fun fact. They are non-professional by status and don’t earn any money while playing.
Oh that was such an exciting piece! Brian your reaction channel has brought me into the realms of styles of music I don’t normally listen to. I am really enjoying it and your careful analyses and your appreciation just add so much to my understanding.❤
Fantastic musicians! And how come I never heard of this before? Really liked this piece, both timbres and chords and melodies. For sure sounded like a movie soundtrack at times.
Brass bands actually don't use trumpets but cornets. Most brass band instruments are from the saxhorn family (invented by Adolf Sax,the inventer of the saxophone): cornet, flugelhorn, tenor horn, baritone and euphonium. These brass instruments are build conical instead of the cylindric build on the more classic brass instruments (trumpets, trombones, ...). This makes the sound warmer. An other interesting point is that this is an amateur movement. Bands at this level have some professional (or music students) musicians in their ranks but most of these players are amateurs with a lot of passion for this music.
Quick note on French sounds: Western European languages are full of rare difficult vowels like ø and œ. The languages you named (Japanese, Russian, Spanish) have a fairly simple vowel system in comparison. Maybe that's the reason? The composition made my brain scratchy. Every new idea started sounding super stereotypical, almost kitsch. But with each bar it gets twisted and melted in all ways possible until you barely recognize the motif anymore, like mountain creek's waters. Very entertaining
Love seeing the appreciation for brass band from a new channel in my algorithm! 13 Etoiles had some absolutely extraordinary performances last year!

That makes me so happy! I'm glad to know that people are getting to explore more styles than they usually do.
I'm glad they got the Bill & Ted seal of excellence 😆

this feels so insanely hard to play. and i dont even properly play any instrument
I had thoughts that this might be understandably difficult even to non-musicians. Thanks for the confirmation.
