Signature

This opener was written for the 10th anniversary of Brass Band Midden
Brabant (BBMB), the composer’s own band. A soft and lyrical middle
section follows on the powerful opening fanfare which, if the technical
equipment is available, can be used as background music for a spoken
text or presentation. The finale is distinctly rhythmical in character,
and develops into a somewhat unusual ending. Here, the composer piles
ten different notes on top of each other, representing the BBMB
anniversary in a musical way. At a later date the composer made two new
versions of Signature, namely for wind band and fanfare.
