BrookWright Music: Alegria — Joyful (Barrie Gott)

A foot tapping samba to enjoy from from teh pen of the great Barrie Gott

BrookWright
  A great new piece for bands to enjoy from the pen of Barrie Gott

This foot-tapping Latin-style cornet feature was written by Barrie Gott for the Brisbane Excelsior Band after enjoying success with a work taken from his popular 'Jazz Suite'.

Samba rhythm

As he says: "Entertainment numbers are always needed for park and popular concerts. It's important that the rhythm section provides a consistent tempo, and this samba rhythm is maintained throughout. The occasional sombrero would not be out of place. Enjoy!"
