Fragments of Jupiter - arr. Michael Brand (Concert Band Grade 4)At a time when the UK is gripped by turbulent times British composer Michael Brand has taken themes from Holsts Jupiter from his Planets Suite (including the patriotic I vow to thee my Country) and created a new musical context for them. Rhythmic and at times barbaric, sometimes oddly bitonal yet also reassuringly hymnlike, this work reflects the contemporary mood of a disturbed nation and perhaps a disorientated world.
