Funk Attack (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Schwarz, Otto M.

Otto M. Schwarz is endeavoring to contribute new ideas to concert band literature. He has contributed in the field of multimedia (Asteroid), and with his many compositions in symphonic/modern arrangement (Jazz Waltz No 1, Fire and Ice or Band Fever). His new composition Funk Attack is, as the name suggests, a piece in funk style. Otto M. Schwarz first gained his experience in his style in the 8o?s, transcribing numbers by famos Amerarican bands including "Earth, Wind and Fire", "Tower of Power"", and the British slap idol "Mark King" (Level 42). Funk attack is atypical of "the concert band scene" and requires absolute precision in phrasing and rhythm. Without the support of a great percussion groove, the orchestra plays an interlocked theme in the central section in style of recent American Big Bands. Otto M. Schwarz dedicated this work to "Alexander Veit and Symphonic Winds".Duration: 4:45

Funky MacDonald (Flexible Ensemble - Score and Parts) - Fjermestad, Svein

Funky MacDonald is originally the second movement from a larger work called Jaeren. The piece is intended to describe the scenery at the south-western part of Norway called Jaeren - all with a little humorous twist. In this fresh arrangement, we meet the cool animals and the farmers living at Jren. In the melody, the middle parts (finally!) get a chance to shine. Together with a funky drum beat, the Old MacDonald has never been this funky!The composer has drawn inspiration from the old nursery rhyme Old MacDonald as well as music by James Brown, Deep Purple, Seagull by Bad Lip Reading and also the old band classic, Arctic Funk by Torstein Aagaard-Nilsen. A good mix for all tastes!Duration: 3.30

Funky Winds (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Schwarz, Otto M.

The success of works like Band Fever, Funk Attack and Groovin'Around stimulated Otto M. Schwarz to compose another work within this genre. Groovy percussion elements, which, through the exact phrasing of the bass line and an accessible melody line, reflect the individual style of the composer, are featured throughout. This successful formula is sure to make Funky Winds is a great addition to the light repertoire for concert band.Duration: 4:45
