Brassworks
Musician Portal
Rocky Mountain Brassworks consists of approximately 35 players on brass and percussion instruments. Most notable is the absence of any woodwinds. All the music (with the exception of the bass trombone) is written in treble clef. This allows for transitioning from one part to another easier for players.
The repertoire is very flexible, consisting of original works, orchestral transcriptions, marches, Broadway show tunes, hymn tunes, and novelty numbers. Except for trombones, all instruments are conical in design, producing a mellow, rich sound that has a wide dynamic and coloristic variety. The two or three percussionists are sometimes called upon to play as many as twenty different instruments within a single selection of music.
