Youth Brass 2000 perform Monteverdi Three Miniatures directed by Chris Jeans. The piece was written as the set test-piece for the 2015 Youth Open at Brass at the Guild. The piece reflects on three snippets of Monteverdi, arranged for brass band in a slightly more modern way. The central movement features a duet, the soloists for which can be chosen by the band. In this instance we hear the cornet and the horn. Greatest thanks to YB2000 for sending me this recording, well played!
