Piano with Brassband music?

[gyzzzmo]

Anybody knows pieces written for piano+Brassband?
thanks in advance,

No, but I'd be concerned about balance. 

[slobone]

Closest I can find is piano & wind orchestra, for which some pieces have been written, including a concerto by Stravinsky...

I'd be concerned about music.

What a potential horrific combination.

Thal

[Bob]

Haha.  Maybe Grainger wrote something?

[daro]

Louis Moreau Gottschalk probably wrote tons of stuff with that combination, but I expect it'll be a bit of a challenge to find copies.

I can only agree, especially since its a brassband who thinks 'the louder the better', i'll need at least a 15 meter grand if people want to hear me.

Maybe amp up the piano?

Maybe amp up the piano? 

Maybe, but first i have to know if theres any music for this combination at all :p

[thalbergmad]

Probably one of the closest would be the Military Concerto by Steibelt. He gives no special orchestral instructions, but we know he was interested in military marches.

Not a brass BAND exactlty, but let's not forget Eonta...

That would require a very very very skilled, and tolerant, pianist. Would be nice to see someone from here play it, heh.

What the bleedin hell is Eonta?

Nothing you would like.

Or maybe there are some Joplin arrangements? Could be done, especially if the piano and the band alternate instead of trying to play at the same time.

Checked it on youtube, and its something i definitely not would like, and the barbarians of that brassband even less :p

I know there is an arrangement for Waraw concerto with brass band accomp. I have to say many of the comments here are very naive. The balance really isnt an issue for a top notch brass band.. A championship brass band prides themself on their pianissimi! and rightly so - not all brass band music is loud and boisterous...go and sign yourselves up to hearing a really good brass band.  Fortunately where I am (Wales) there are still many Excellent bands.

[gyzzzmo]

I know there are excellent Brassband, i heard one who became second on the world championship. However, the brassband im going to play with is indeed boisteres, loud and barbaric.
