Preparations for the summer concert season are in full swing, and at musicainfo.net we are showcasing the latest works in the field of light music, which have been specifically designed for park and spa concerts as well as traditional brass band events. This time, the focus is on polkas, waltzes, and marches in the style of Bohemian brass music, as well as concert pieces that can enrich any summer program.
New works in the style of Bohemian brass music
Martin Neu, a composer known for his catchy melodies and rhythmic precision, presents “Nach böhmischen Rezept” a polka that captivates with its lively instrumentation and rousing accents. This piece is ideal as the opening or highlight of a summer concert and is guaranteed to bring energy to any event.
Markus Breitenlechner, whose name is synonymous with melodic depth and harmonic elegance, has Für unsere Heimat , a march that captivates with its lyrical passages and gentle timbres. The piece is perfect for quiet moments in a concert program and creates a relaxed, almost meditative atmosphere.
Franz Meierhofer, an experienced composer with a flair for traditional brass music, presents the Bergwind Polka, a piece that captivates with its clear structure and powerful accents. It is ideal for festive occasions or as the finale of a concert.
Walter Höller, whose works often captivate with their freshness and lightheartedness, has created Beste Freunde , a polka that captivates with its lively rhythm and catchy melodies. A must for every summer program!
