Description

Another Eurovision Song Contest has been and gone.....

Having watched it (and the two semi-finals) it became apparent to me just how many songs (hence countries) adhere to the same characteristics.The minor key is happy (after all) & celebratory. There is a musical love affair with the "phrygian mode" and as various Euro commentators over the years have pointed out; it often helps to have a title and chorus made up of nonsense words.

This little piece is my response.....

Dum Di-Gi Dum refers to an oft repeated tonguing / articulation pattern within the music. Indeed, the piece could really be called "DumDi-Gi Dum Di-Gi Dum Pum Pum - but there is such a thing as overload......

In keeping with Eurovision rules, this piece must not succeed 3minutes duration. So get moving !

“This is absolutely one of the finest and most creative brass ensembles in the world."

Marc Dickman
University of South Florida writing in the International Trombone Association Journal

“Every now and again a recording that is both truly outstanding and will have great appeal to brass band listeners appears on the shelves. We are delighted to make it the first recipient of our CD of the Year Editors Award.”

Kenneth Crookston
British Bandsman

It is scintillatingly good. Superbrass more than live up to their name.”

Lyndon Chapman
“Simply some of the most exciting and triumphant brass playing I have ever heard!”

“This intriguing "water-borne" voyage runs the gamut from more classically-tinged interpretations to straight-ahead and improvised jazz. Along that journey we are treated to a highly inspired and masterfully presented performance.”

Nicholas F. Mondello

“The end result, is a resounding success. This is not a commercial CD, this is education, passion and self belief written in the sleeve notes”
