Program Notes:
This spectacular prelude for brass band is very suitable for opening concerts. After a quick technical introduction, a melodic theme follows, followed by more technical highlights. At the end, the main theme returns in a grand finale. Preludes have been used as musical prelude since the 17th century, but they have also been used as introductory improvisation, designed to loosen the fingers of the players. Kick-Start contains all these elements of a prelude. Kick-Start was composed for Altena Brass. The premiere by Altena Brass conducted by Anno Appelo was on March 31th 2018 in ’t Uivernest in Hank.
