Sparkling Brass was commissioned by Osaka Concert Brass, one of Japan’s top brass bands, and premiered by them on 27th December 2018 during a concert which celebrated their 10th Anniversary. The work opens in lively mood with fanfare-style figures from the lower band which are answered by the cornets. This interplay intensifies until the mood calms suddenly to introduce a chorale which leads to a duet-cadenza for cornet and euphonium. The rhythmic mood of the opening soon returns and leads to the main theme of the work, a modal caccia which features various section of the band. A short bridge passage leads to a change of key and a new cantabile theme which isintroduced by euphoniums and baritone. This is taken up by the full band after another change of key and leads back to the caccia theme. A transformed version of the opening fanfare returns to close the work. Sparkling Brass werd geschreven in opdracht van Osaka Concert Brass voor een concert ter gelegenheid van het tienjarig bestaan van die band. Het werk opent in een levendige sfeer, met fanfareachtige motieven in het lage koper, beantwoord door de kornetten. Dit samenspel wordt intenser tot de sfeer plotseling rustiger wordt en er een koraal naar voren komt dat leidt naar een duet-cadens voor kornet en eufonium. De ritmische sfeer van het begin keert snel terug en mondt uit in het hoofdthema, een modale caccia met diverse secties uit de band. Een korte bridgepassage brengt een verandering in toonsoort en een nieuw cantabile thema, ge ntroduceerd door de eufoniumsen bariton. Dit wordt overgenomen door de hele band na nog een toonsoortverandering, waarna het caccia-thema terugkeert. Het werk besluit met een getransformeerde versie van de openingsfanfare. Sparkling Brass wurde von Osaka Concert Brass, einer der führenden japanischen Brass Bands, in Auftrag gegeben und bei einem Konzert zum 10-jährigen Jubiläum uraufgeführt. Das Werk beginnt lebhaft mit Fanfarenfiguren in den tieferen Stimmen, die von den Kornetten beantwortet werden. Dieses Wechselspiel wird intensiver, bis sich die Stimmung plötzlich beruhigt und ein Choral erklingt, der in eine Duo-Kadenz für Kornett und Euphonium mündet. Der rhythmische Charakter des Anfangs kehrt bald zurück und führt zum Hauptthema des Werkes, einer modalen Caccia, in der verschiedene Instrumentengruppen der Brass Band hervorgehoben werden. Eine kurze Überleitung führt zu einemTonartwechsel und einem neuen Cantabile-Thema, das von den Euphonien und Baritonen eingeleitet wird. Nach einem weiteren Tonartwechsel wird es von der gesamten Brass Band übernommen und führt wieder zum Caccia-Thema zurück. Zum Schluss des Werkes erklingt noch einmal eine veränderte Version der Eröffnungsfanfare. Sparkling Brass est une commande d’Osaka Concert Brass, qui l’a créée lors d’un concert marquant son 10e anniversaire. La pièce s’ouvre dans une atmosphère enjouée, avec des figures de style fanfare dans le registre grave auxquelles répondent les cornets. Cette interaction s’amplifie jusqu’ ce que, soudainement, le climat se calme pour introduire un choral qui mène une cadence pour cornet et euphonium. L’ambiance rythmée du début revient bientôt et mène au thème principal de la pièce, une caccia modale qui met en avant divers pupitres de l’orchestre. Un bref passage de transition mène un changement de tonalité et un nouveau thème cantabile introduit parles euphoniums et le baryton. Ce thème est repris par l’orchestre entier après un autre changement de tonalité pour revenir au thème en caccia. L’œuvre se termine par une version transformée de la fanfare du début.

This elegant and nostalgic piece depicts gentle snow falling as twilight fades on a winter's eve. The legato theme is heard in several sections, featuring a flowing accompaniment with modal shifts as players alternate between F-sharp and F-natural. Rich harmonies, slurs, and sustained pedal-tone pitches allow students to work on playing with good tone and bow control. The contrasting staccato section sparkles like snowflakes in the golden sun, with easy meter changes and a playful syncopated feel. In a quiet finale, the piece ends with a soft diminuendo reflecting the last rays of sunlight, vanishing over the darkening horizon.This elegant and nostalgic piece depicts gentle snow falling as twilight fades on a winter’s eve.

The original of this arrangement continues to be one of Claude T. Smith’s most performed works. The opening theme sparkles with rhythmic energy and harmonic structure that never grow old. The Andante section is a beautiful contrast to the main theme occurring in neighboring sections. This flexible arrangement allows ensembles to perform the work with as few as thirteen musicians providing accessibility and flexibility for numerous instrumentation needs, while still allowing a full ensemble sound. *The posted recording is based on the full band scoring but aligns with the suggested preferences for either woodwinds/strings or brass suggested in the score.
