PERFECT LANDING;

To effect a PERFECT LANDING all systems must be operating at
one hundred percent efficiency and that is where Canadian Brass
finds itself today. Leaders in the chamber music world once only
enjoyed by the finest string quartets, the Canadian Brass routinely
meets receptive audiences more typically witnessed in pop culture
this disc represents the PERFECT LANDING of this entire
Canadian Brass community.
What better place to start the celebration than with the music of
Johann Sebastian Bach his monumental and devilishly difficult
Brandenburg Concerto #2 features the effortless piccolo trumpet
playing of Caleb Hudson. In contrast to this solo work, Bach s
Passacaglia And Fugue truly exploits the entire quintet. Add to
that Luther Henderson s three re imagined titles from the
Well Tempered Clavier have been included, as have four Spanish
culture compositions that beautifully demonstrate the emotional
impact and power of brass instruments, and four diverse but
significant contributions to brass repertoire that will point the
way for future generations of brass players.
In between the oldest and newest works on the CD is the music of
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Known for his chamber music, Mozart
composed the fiery Spring Quartet. This chamber work has
yielded an absolute masterpiece for brass ensemble.
