Disco Stu 15,495 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Very nice! The North Texas Wind Symphony is an excellent ensemble. This is one of my favorite Williams fanfares, personally. curlytoot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt S. 492 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 The album cover says Broughton is one of the composers....does anybody know which piece is by him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,233 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Probably not a JWFan piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Their performance of Mackey's "Frozen Cathedral" is one of my favorites. It's on YouTube. airmanjerm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Andrade 1,260 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Awesome! For The President's Own is probably my favourite of his celebratory short pieces. Disco Stu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a wonderful exercise for the brass especially! The complex, interweaving parts for the trumpets are breathtaking. Miguel Andrade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's surprising. My favourite will always remain "Celebrate Discovery", I think. Miguel Andrade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Andrade 1,260 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Celebrate Discovery is surely a favourite too, though I must confess that I'm more of a fan of his later output. Music for Brass is another that is just awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Celebrate Discovery is a piece I am especially proud of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 This album was released today, I'm listening to it now. It really is a glorious performance and recording of "For the President's Own." I continue to find this composition completely exhilarating. I'd love to hear Williams continue to "explore" the textures of a wind band like Broughton, whose "In the World of the Spirits" really showcases the immediacy I find so exciting about string-less ensembles. It's a first-rate album! Highly recommended. Oh! Also: I was already familiar with Mackey's "Wine-Dark Sea" but if you are reading this and haven't ever listened to it, now is the perfect time to discover one of the coolest pieces of music written this decade.
