MyDemo

BrookWright's new MyDemo initiative provides composers, arrangers and publishing companies the opportunity to have high-quality recordings, audio demos and rolling-score videos produced of their music. In addition we will create backing tracks using the finest sampled sounds and audio technology. We realise not everyone has access to an ensemble or sample libraries, and so here we offer both live recordings and highly realistic audio representations that you can use to promote your music.

 

While we specialise in demos for brass band, brass ensemble, orchestra and wind band, we have access to live recorded sounds of virtually any instrument and reverbs replicating the acoustics of some of the most iconic studios, concert halls and churches in the world.

​

MyDemo has the following options available:

• Fully edited studio recording of your music by Yorkshire Imperial Band, an elite level UK-based brass band;

• Demo of your music created using the highest quality sample libraries available, featuring the live sounds of some of the world's finest musicians recorded in the most sought after recording venues;

• Demo of your music created using Noteperformer, an AI-based playback engine.

• Highly realistic backing track created using the actual sounds of the BBC Symphony Orchestra's grand piano, Noire's Yamaha CFX 9' grand piano, or the Royal Albert Hall organ. Any combination of orchestral and world instruments are also available.

• Rolling-score video displaying the sheet music of your piece (available for all the above options for a small additional cost).

​

The options are virtually limitless depending on your requirements.

We wish you a Merry Christmas (Orchestra) English Trad. arr. Kenneth Downie

We wish you a Merry Christmas (Orchestra) English Trad. arr. Kenneth Downie

Published by BrookWright Music - www.brookwrightmusic.com PDFs available at www.brookwrightmusic.com/product-page/we-wish-you-a-merry-christmas-orchestra-english-trad-arr-kenneth-downie Sheet music available at www.jwpepper.com Kenneth Downie writes: ‘The origins of this jolly carol lie in the West Country of England, which has been my home for the last 12 years. Carollers singing this song make the wish that their hearers will have a merry Christmas and a happy new year, but then go on to request some ‘figgy pudding’ - and if they don’t receive the aforementioned pudding, they threaten to keep on singing indefinitely. Having experienced at first hand the dubious quality of some carol singers, this threat should be taken seriously! Quite obviously, a carol of this profound nature calls for a matching musical approach in performance. It should be played with a smile, and hopefully leave a smile on the face of the listeners.’ Featuring the sounds of Berlin Orchestra by Orchestral Tools. Mixed by Andrew Wainwright.

Disinformation! (Brass Band) Joe Galuszka

Published by BrookWright Music - www.brookwrightmusic.com This atmospheric work by English composer Joe Galuszka is set in three movements: I. Fear II. Hope III. Solidarity (March for Truth) The composer writes: ‘All around us is mistrust in the information we receive. Chinese misinformation. Russian disinformation. ‘Fake News’ in the United States. At every turn we doubt what we hear, what we see. Disinformation was composed in response to the ever-growing and all powerful misinformation campaigns worldwide that reached dizzying levels of influence, coming from some of the most eminent heads of states, during the turn of the 21st century. With division and disillusionment now rife and engrained in Western democracies, the unravelling of the social order is reflected in this short work for brass band.  Opening with Fear, Disinformation starts with vast amounts of noise taking over the establishment and paints a world with people coming to terms with the cacophony of sound that is ‘false information’. With a retreat to a brief moment of solace, Hope conjures up a calm escapism where on the outside, the brave and the wise look on to what is becoming of our new world. Maybe there is chance to pull together? Ending with a frenzied, brazen climax, the piece concludes with Solidarity – where people and the politicians come to loggerheads in a battle – where those who seek division are called out and the lies are laid bare for all to see, as we enter, once more, the unknown.

Finale from Symphony No. 3 - Organ Symphony (Brass Band & Organ) Saint-Saëns arr. Kevin Norbury

Published by BrookWright Music - www.brookwrightmusic.com PDFs available from www.brookwrightmusic.com/product-page/finale-from-symphony-no-3-organ-symphony-brass-band-saint-sa%C3%ABns-arr-norbury Sheet music available from: UK - www.brassband.co.uk USA - www.cimarronmusic.com Saint-Saëns was the archetypal French Romantic composer, a prodigiously gifted musician who, besides being a composer, was a virtuoso pianist and organist. He decided to add the organ and piano to his 3rd symphony as a pragmatic orchestration innovation. The composition of this symphony was probably started in 1885 and a first draft was completed in Prague in 1886. Saint-Saëns later recalled its eventful genesis: ‘The Symphony in C was three-quarters sketched out when I found it impossible to write the finale. I did not know how to resolve this situation, until one night I suddenly woke up and, in a sort of hallucination, I heard the whole finale, which I hastily wrote down in outline, knowing that if I went back to sleep without having put anything on paper, I would have forgotten it all the next day.’ The symphony was first performed under the composer’s direction at Saint James’s Hall in London on May 19, 1886. This arrangement by Kevin Norbury can both function as a stand-alone brass band piece, and be performed with an organ by omitting the notes in square bracket.

Be thou my vision (SATB Choir) Irish Traditional arr. Andrew Wainwright

Published by BrookWright Music Physical copy available from jwpepper.com Please note this audio representation of the music does not include the words of the song which are included in the published version. 'Be Thou My Vision' is a traditional Christian hymn of Irish origin. Its text, translated into English by Eleanor Hull in 1912, is often attributed to six-century poet Dallán Forgaill, and the music to which these words are set is a traditional Irish folk tune called 'Slane'. This three-verse arrangement for SATB Choir by Andrew Wainwright offers a fresh and captivating take on the much loved tune. Audio file created using the sounds of the Estonian Chamber Choir (Tallinn Choir by Orchestral Tools) and Noire Piano.
