The Book for All Occasions

50 flexible arrangements - for 4 or 40 players

"A super idea, providing a huge amount of flexibility. It's all extremely accessible, with the arrangements designed to be playable by all levels of ability. Highly recommended" Philip Harper.

A simple concept: take 50 essential tunes and make them playable by any group of brass players, from a quartet right up to a full brass band

A four-part harmony underpins the arrangements, and you can then add to that, with unique parts for all brass band instruments.

The music in the BFAO is regularly performed on six continents, and has featured everywhere from Premiership Rugby grounds to cross-channel ferries!
