Programme notes: In the rich history of brass music, numerous composers have created important works that celebrate the art of wind orchestra playing at the highest level. One of these remarkable works is the concert march "Brigade 6", composed by Josef Frank. This piece was written between 1945 and 1957, when Josef Frank led the Zell am Ziller band. Under his inspiring leadership, the chapel experienced steady upward development in the years after the Second World War. While he worked full-time as a professor at the teacher training college in Innsbruck, Frank invested his passion and expertise in music, especially brass music. His time in Zell am Ziller was marked by a remarkable commitment to promoting musical culture in the Tyrol region and beyond. Under his leadership, the Zell am Ziller music band developed into an outstanding ensemble that was known for its musical quality and impressive performances. The concert march "Brigade 6" is one of Josef Frank's most important compositions. This work is an impressive example of his ability to fully exploit the sonic splendor and potential of a wind orchestra. The march is characterized by lively rhythms, melodic elegance and a dynamic structure that captivates the audience. The naming "Brigade 6" indicates a connection to military units of the same name, which is not unusual in the world of brass music. Marching music often has a historical connection to military and parade events. In this case, the name "Brigade 6" could refer to the period after World War II and represent a tribute to the units and soldiers who served in that era. The musical language of "Brigade 6" is characterized by Josef Frank's masterful mastery of harmonies and instrumentation. The piece offers the musicians in the wind orchestra the opportunity to demonstrate their skills and at the same time entertain the audience in a rousing way. Quelle/Source: musicainfo.net (KI)
