Based on Marc-Antoine Charpentier's (1634-1704) Te Deum Fanfare and Flourishes for a Festive Occasion was originally commissioned for the 1991 European Brass Band Championships held in Rotterdam Holland.

James Curnow's original composition Fanfare And Flourishes is an exhilarating piece that has become a staple in the repertoire of more mature bands. Now rescored in this easier version for younger bands it can be enjoyed by musicians of all levels. The power and brilliance of the original comes through loud and clear; this is a great concert opener for your next program!

What a way to open any concert. Fanfare and Flourishes is a spectacular short work that mixes all the pageantry of a military tattoo with the well-known Charpentier (1634-1705) Te Deum a tune everyone will recognise as the theme tune for the Eurovision Song Contest! A brilliant piece to start a concert with a bang!
