	Pridesale Member since Mar 2013 798 Points	Question Brass Band Music Classical or Not. Using the Classic FM list of Classical Composers one would imagine that a fair few will have at least arrangements done for Brass Band, if not directly composing therefor. But what about Brass Band composers specifically (I suppose I think mainly of Eric Ball, but I presume there are others, particulary those who wrote for championship test pieces and the like. Would they ( and one could alternately only consider Brass Band arrangements more as Folk Music ( akin to Country/Scottish Dance Tunes)), but I would like to know what others think. I.E does one take Classical Music as only Orchestral +/or Keyboards or Solo of mulitples of one or more string , woodwind , percussion or orchestral brass instruments ? (Essentially a Brass Band will have Cornet, rather than Trumpet for the top brass notes, and Saxhorns rather than French Horns for the Alto / Tenor Parts. Only the Tuba (BBb and Eb) and Trombones are common to the sections I think, untuned percussion aside. Marching Bands have additional tuned percussion, and may also include Saxaphones/Clarinets and Flute/Piccolos just to complicate things. Edited by Pridesale on 19th Jul 2017, 11:47 PM
