Ides March Score & Parts: A Timeless Composition
Ides March, a remarkable composition by Derek Bremel, was commissioned by William Brine in 1990. This powerful work was designed to be suitable for performance at both weddings and funerals, making it a truly versatile piece for any wind band. The title, Ides March, is a humorous nod to the Shakespearean phrase 'Beware the Ides of March', adding a touch of whimsy to this already captivating work.
A Harmonious Blend of Emotions
One of the most striking features of Ides March is its clever transition from major to minor keys. Inspired by the words of Cole Porter, 'What could be any finer? But how strange the change from major to minor, every time we say goodbye', Bremel masterfully weaves together the contrasting emotions of melancholy and triumph. This interplay creates a rich, nuanced sound that will resonate with audiences.
