About the album

This group of talented New Yorkers have performed the works of James Pugh and Daniel Schnyder in concerts across the globe. The relationship between these two composers and the Brass Ensemble has developed far beyond mutual friendship and respect. Since the year 2000, when James Pugh first wrote "And Flights of Angels" for the group, the ensemble have seldom performed a concert without a selection of his and Daniel’s music. Both James and Daniel now write many pieces exclusively for these players, and have created a close and successful partnership, both on stage and off.

The world of brass music is relatively under-explored, and James Pugh (Professor of Trombone at Purchase College, State University of New York) and Daniel Schnyder (Composer-in-Residence with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra) have specialised in a repertoire that is both fun, challenging and extremely versatile.

A champion of brass ensemble music, Graham Ashton reformed the Graham Ashton Brass Ensemble (GABE) upon relocating to New York in 1999. The ensemble quickly made its mark by drawing together an eclectic mix of Manhattan's most distinguished brass players from the Orchestra of the Metropolitan Opera, Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and American Symphony. GABE made their New York début in 2000 at the 25th Anniversary conference of the International Trumpet Guild.
Het resultaat van een bijzondere samenwerking tussen componisten en ensemble
Graham Ashton, een voorstander van muziek voor koperblazers, hervormde het Graham Ashton Brass Ensemble na zijn verhuizing naar New York in 1999. Het ensemble drukte al gauw zijn stempel op de muziekwereld door een mix van de beste en meest onderscheidende koperblazers uit orkesten en verenigingen in Manhattan bij elkaar te brengen.

Deze groep getalenteerde musici uit New York hebben de werken van James Pugh en Daniel Schnyder over de hele wereld uitgevoerd tijdens concerten. Beide componisten specialiseren zich in een repertoire dat leuk, uitdagend en buitengewoon veelzijdig is. De relatie tussen deze componisten en het ensemble heeft zich ontwikkeld tot meer dan wederzijdse vriendschap en respect. Sinds 2000, toen James Pugh And Flights of Angels componeerde voor de groep, voert het ensemble zelden een concert zonder een aantal werken van hem en Schnyder uit. Beide componisten schrijven nu vele werken speciaal voor deze musici, en hebben een nauw en succesvol partnerschap met hen gevormd, zowel op als naast het podium.
