Bonkers : [eScore] / Brendan Collins.
Work Overview
This high-energy stage band piece is a hit with young musicians. It has a strong funk feel with many interesting and challenging melodic and rhythmic features. While it is challenging to perform, it is accessible to all with its reduced tonal ranges in the trumpets and trombones. There are opportunites for improved solos.
