Amos Miller director
RCM Brass Ensemble

Programme to include:
Rameau (arr Roger Harvey) Suite from Castor et Pollux
Poulenc (arr Peter Dörpinghaus) Sept Chansons
Milhaud (arr Jim Bicigo) Île-de-France from Suite Française op 248
Couperin (arr Eric Crees) Fanfare Triomphante
Jolivet Fanfares pour Britannicus
L Boulanger (arr Amos Miller) D’un vieux jardin
Tailleferre (arr Amos Miller) Suite burlesque

The season’s thread of French inspiration continues in this concert of brass suites, songs and fanfares, in exciting arrangements performed by the ÃÛÑ¿TV Brass Ensemble.

Take a trip through time from Baroque composer Rameau’s exquisite music from his opera based on mythological twin brothers Castor and Pollux, to Milhaud’s lyrical and lively score in which each movement represents a French region, the Île-de-France.

Also on the programme are works by post-Romantic composer Lili Boulanger, as well as Tailleferre’s quirky and effervescent Suite burlesque.
