Dreams and Dances, Philip Harper. Flugelhorn + Brass Band

Dreams and Dances is a substantial seven minute solo for one of the most characteristic of the brass bands instruments. It begins slowly and dreamily, with a flugel line encompassing both lyrical and florid styles, before moving via a short cadenza to a set of dances in a quick 6/8 time. The solo part would be a challenge for any player, but the accompaniment parts should he manageable by all.
