With the start of term approaching, hopefully most of our school brass ensembles will be permitted to rehearse. Brass teachers usually do their own arrangements, for their own unique line-up of players, so we’ve just launched ‘Arrange Exchange’ where we can pool and share our resources. To join, just submit an arrangement and then you can have free access to the library. Then for every piece you use, you need to submit another one to the library on an honesty basis. No money changes hands. Arrangements must be submitted as a MusicXML file (and also the programme used to create it - eg. Sibelius or Finale), so everyone can adapt pieces for their own groups. Send your pieces to [email protected] and we’ll add your music to the library and give you the password.

* Something Old: music from 1550 - 1900
* Something New: music from 1990 - (including previously unrecorded works and new commissions)
* Something Borrowed: music borrowed from borrowed idea
* Something Blue: music inspired by the blues and the colour blue.
Still a limited supply of this 4-CD set available at http://www.mardibrass.com. £10 for over 450 years of great brass music. For 4 1/2 hours of music, that's really not much...
Great to be joined today at the last minute by Gordon Campbell for our last session recording 'Something Blue'. Can't wait to hear it!
