THE BRASS BAND
A music project for brass by Adrian Taylor
Another popular style of music played by brass bands is hymn tunes. This one (usually played by a brass band) is often heard at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday.
Bb Eb
Here's another hymn you could sing and/or play.
Now The Day Is Over
Now the day is over,
Night is drawing nigh,
Shadows of the evening
Steal across the sky.
Now the darkness gathers,
Stars begin to peep,
Birds, and beasts and flowers
Soon will be asleep.
If you have a mixture of instruments you could play this piece as a band arrangement (possibly still using the Bb backing track).
Or you could play the two cornet parts as a duet (with either Bb or Eb backing tracks).
