Edition Schott

This short effective piece would be a pleasure to rehearse and perform by any wind orchestra. It begins with a simple one-part melody by the trumpets, and is gradually joined by all other parts. In the middle of the fanfare, a very quiet moment is reached which, in a broad crescendo, leads to a bombastic ending. The piece demands a wide dynamic range from the orchestra and careful arrangement of the dramatic structure from the conductor.
As a compulsory piece for competitions, 'Danziger Fanfare' is ideally suited to any occasion and concert programme. Instrumentation : brass instruments, timpani and percussion
