OK, finally a bit of time to work on a brass fanfare. And I looked at a few brass "fanfares" recently for "inspiration", but speaking of Janacek again, yesterday I looked at the score for the fanfare in Sinfonietta. Actually I think it is brilliant how the entire fanfare movement is made out of 2 motives, basically: the one that appears in the trumpets (second half of which is anticipated in the timpani) and the descending chords in the tenor tubas, which, when repeated, seem related to the second part of the other motive too. The great thing about having 9 trumpets in groups of 3 is not only that they can be loud, but they can be loud for some time, because they can bump each other.
I wanted to write one brass fanfare. But I think, I'll do at least 2. Because I'd really like to get a bit of the sound of a band like those in Moldova. But first I want to try something else...
Well here is one of those bands:
